Trump Signals Four- to Five-Week US-Israel Military Campaign Against Iran Amid Escalating Conflict

US President Donald Trump has indicated that the military campaign against Iran, involving coordinated US-Israeli strikes, could last around four to five weeks. The operation, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, has targeted Iranian leadership and military assets, reportedly killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and senior figures. Iran has retaliated with missile and drone attacks on US bases and regional sites, causing casualties including three confirmed US service members. European allies have expressed readiness to defend their interests amid escalating tensions. Diplomatic efforts, including mediation by Oman, remain uncertain as both sides prepare for a sustained conflict.
