US President Donald Trump has indicated that military action with Iran could be completed in four weeks. Meanwhile, in response to the US-Israeli attacks, Hezbollah has also jumped into the war with Iran.
Washington: For the first time, US President Donald Trump has said something clearly on how long the military conflict with Iran can last. He has indicated that US military action against Iran could last for about four weeks. In a short telephone interview with the Daily Mail, Trump talked about future plans for the White House. Trump clearly said, “Iran is a strong country, but I think this process can be completed in four weeks or less.”
This statement of the President shows how planned America’s military operation is. He repeated the same thing in another interview given to the New York Times. When asked how long the US and Israeli attacks would continue, Trump replied that his target was four to five weeks. He also said that this mission will not be too difficult for America and America has enough weapons stored in different parts of the world. It is clear from these reports that the coming weeks are going to be very important for the politics of West Asia.
Iran got the support of Hezbollah
Meanwhile, there is news that Hezbollah has also joined the war to support Iran amid joint attacks by America and Israel. The Israeli army says that the missile attack came from Lebanon. Iranian media is also confirming Hezbollah’s involvement. The IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) alleges that on Sunday, Hezbollah fired several missiles at Israel from Lebanon. Despite facing huge crisis due to Israeli attacks in the last one year, Hezbollah still stands with Iran. Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for the missile attack on Israel. He has called it revenge for the assassination of Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei. The Israeli army has said that it will take retaliatory action at many places in Lebanon including Beirut.
The IDF said in a statement that the Air Force intercepted a weapon fired from Lebanon in mid-air after sirens sounded in several areas of northern Israel. As per standard protocol, many projectiles fell in open areas. There is no news of any casualties or damage in Israel. An IDF spokesman said strikes had been launched against Hezbollah targets throughout Lebanon. Israel had warned in intelligence and publicly in the past few days that if Hezbollah intervenes in the war with Iran, it would be given a strong response.
