On March 1, President Trump, collaborating with Israel, hinted that the large-scale military actions against Iran would likely extend for approximately four weeks. In a statement to the UK media, Trump emphasized his determination to continue the operations until all objectives are met, raising concerns about the conflict potentially dragging out for several weeks. The U.S. began its offensive on February 28, targeting Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, which has led to Iran retaliating against Israeli and U.S. bases in surrounding countries.

While discussing the campaign, Trump described it as likely lasting 'about four weeks or less', acknowledging the strong nature of Iran as a nation. In a 6-minute video statement released on social media that same day, he touted the destruction of numerous targets, including key sites associated with Iran's elite military unit, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and emphasized the sinking of nine vessels. Nevertheless, he also admitted the loss of three U.S. personnel, stating that further casualties could arise before the completion of the operations.

In conjunction with military developments, U.S. media outlet The Atlantic reported that Trump expressed his willingness to engage in talks with Iran, noting that the Iranian side has shown an interest in negotiating. However, specifics regarding potential negotiation partners or timelines remain undisclosed. This potential shift towards diplomatic engagement amidst ongoing conflict indicates a complex balancing act for the Trump administration as it navigates military and political strategies in the region.
