US and Israeli officials say conflict with Iran will take ‘weeks, not days’

The conflict with Iran will take “weeks, not days,” according to American and Israeli officials quoted by CNN.

The officials say the operation has the White House’s implicit approval, with an Israeli official cited as saying the US president is on board with the weeks-long timeframe.

“The Trump administration firmly believes this can be solved by continuing negotiations with the US,” with the exact length of the conflict dependent on Iran’s actions, a US official is quoted as saying.
