US ahead of expected 4–6-week timeline for Iran war; ‘very close’ to meeting objectives
The US remains ahead of schedule in its war against Iran after initially giving a timeline of four to six weeks, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says.
“From the outset, President Trump and the Department of War estimated it would take approximately four to six weeks to achieve this critical mission. Twenty-five days in, the greatest military the world has ever known is ahead of schedule and performing exceptionally,” Leavitt says during a press briefing.
“We are very close to meeting the core objectives of operation, epic fury and this military mission continues unabated.
She recalls Trump’s decision to push back his threat to bomb Iranian power plants after “it was made clear to the United States that Iran wanted to talk. President Trump is willing to listen.”
“The remaining elements of the Iranian regime have another opportunity to cooperate with President Trump, permanently abandon their nuclear ambitions and cease actively threatening America and our allies,” Leavitt says.
“If Iran fails to understand that they have been defeated militarily and will continue to be, President Trump will ensure they are hit harder than they have ever been hit before,” she adds.
