U.S. President Donald Trump told Americans on Wednesday night that he expects the war on Iran to last another two to three weeks, but deemed it close to an end.
Trump in a televised address from the White House, touted the successes of the U.S. campaign, dubbed Operation Epic Fury and repeated what he has said multiple times recently — the war won’t last much longer, CNBC reported.
“We are going to finish the job, and we’re going to finish it very fast,” he said.
Oil and stock markets reacted negatively to the speech.
The U.S. and Israel began the war on Feb. 28 with strikes around Iran, including one that killed the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“We’re going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks,” Trump said. “We’re going to bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong.”
Despite the apparent escalation, Trump said that “discussions are ongoing,” leaving a diplomatic resolution on the table.
