Trump declines timeline to end Iran war, says US offensive averted ‘World War 3'

US President Donald Trump has again avoided giving a clear timeline for ending the US-Israeli war on Iran, even as he claims the campaign has already transformed global security. Speaking to reporters, Trump was asked whether, with Iran’s missile sites “totally obliterated,” much of its leadership killed, and its navy and key forces destroyed, the conflict could be wrapped up within the week. He replied, “I don’t think so, but it’ll be soon. It won’t be long,” insisting the war would ultimately deliver “a much safer world” and saying he had an “obligation” to launch the operation. In a separate remark, Trump argued that without this offensive, the world was headed toward a nuclear confrontation that “would have evolved into World War 3,” claiming his actions had prevented a scenario in which “there would have been nothing left.” Watch for more
