Trump Pledges 'Whatever It Takes,' Signals Iran War Could Last Weeks

President Trump stated the US-Israel operation against Iran is substantially ahead of schedule and committed to whatever it takes to complete military objectives. Goals include destroying Iran's missile capabilities, eliminating its navy, preventing nuclear weapons development, and cutting support for regional militias. Trump said the operation was projected to last four to five weeks; Defense Secretary Hegseth suggested it could extend up to six weeks and declined to rule out eventual ground troops.
