Pentagon sees Iran war lasting up to six weeks, Trump aide says

A top aide to President Donald Trump said the Pentagon estimates the Iran war, now in its third week, would take between four and six weeks.

Kevin Hassett, head of the White House’s National Economic Council, offered the timeline along with a caveat that the ultimate decision on when the war will conclude lies with Trump. He was among several administration officials on Sunday asking Americans for patience as energy prices spike, saying the goal of eliminating Iran as a threat in the Middle East is worth it.
