War against Iran won’t last years, Netanyahu says

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he expected the war against Iran was “not going to take years”, Reuters writes.

US President Donald Trump initially projected the ​war to last four to five weeks, but has since sought to justify a broad, open-ended war on Iran.

Netanyahu rejected the idea of the conflict lasting years, like previous wars in the region.

“I said it could be quick ‌and decisive. It may take some time, but it’s not going to take years. It’s not an endless war,” Netanyahu told Fox News.

Today marks the fourth day of the war. US-Israeli strikes against Iran began on Saturday. During one of the attacks, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed, and Iran’s response to the United States and Israel drew the Persian Gulf region into the conflict.
