CNN’s Jake Tapper said that President Donald Trump told him that the operation against Iran isn’t over.
In fact, it sounds like we can expect even more destructive strikes:
But what, right now, we want everyone staying inside. It’s not safe out there. And then the President said, it’s about to get even less safe. He said, quote, “We haven’t even started hitting them hard. The big wave hasn’t even happened. The big one is coming soon.” We asked him about a bunch of other stuff too, that I’m writing up and we’ll share later on.
Trump reportedly also told Tapper that the U.S. has been doing more than the attacks “to help the Iranian people regain control of Iran against the regime.”
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine already confirmed that the U.S. will redirect more military forces to the Middle East as the operation against Iran continues.
Trump would not give a timeline of the operation, much like Secretary of War Pete Hegseth:
The President said, quote, “We’re knocking the crap out of them. I think it’s going very well. It’s very powerful. We’ve got the greatest military in the world, and we’re using it.”I asked the president how long he thought this military operation or war might last. He said, quote, “I don’t want to see it go on too long. I always thought it would be four weeks. And we’re a little ahead of schedule.”
Both Caine and Hegseth stressed that the operation would not be resolved overnight.
“First, to be clear, as the Secretary [Hegseth] said, this is not a single overnight operation,” said Caine. “The military objectives that CENTCOM and the Joint Force have been tasked with will take some time to achieve, and in some cases, will be difficult and gritty work.”
