US President Donald Trump said the US-Israeli war on Iran could be a “short-term excursion”.
Speaking at a Republican gathering in Doral, Florida, Trump said the US military was already “very far” ahead of the four-to-five-week timeframe initially estimated for the assault on Iran.
In an earlier interview with CBS, he said: “I think the war is very complete, pretty much. They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no air force.”
