From ‘short-term’ to ‘as long as necessary’

Israel reportedly launched the war on Iran, already low on interceptors, and US President Donald Trump said earlier this month that his country has virtually “unlimited” munitions, despite reports that they are lower than the military’s expectations.

Trump initially said that the war on Iran would only take about four weeks, and later said it’s a “short-term excursion.”

Still, on Friday, he said the war will continue “as long as it’s necessary.”

A recent intelligence assessment reported by Reuters said that the Iranian leadership and government are not at risk of collapse amid the ongoing US-Israel war on the country.
