Channel 12 Israel: Trump Says War Could Be Short or Long

The Israeli network “Channel 12” reported, citing Donald Trump, that the U.S. President stated there are several scenarios for ending the confrontation with the Islamic Republic, and this operation could be short or long.

In an exclusive interview with this network, Trump said: “I can make this long and take control of everything, or I can finish it in a few days and tell the Iranians that if you start again in a few years, I’ll see you.”

He claimed that Tehran has come close to an agreement several times and then backed down, which showed him that “they really don’t want to reach an agreement.” Trump also mentioned that while preparing his speech, he asked his team to compile a list of the Islamic Republic's attacks over the past 25 years, adding: “I saw that every month they did something bad, blew something up, and killed someone.”

The U.S. President emphasized that if the United States had not attacked Iran in June, “they would have nuclear weapons now.”

Regarding discussions with Benjamin Netanyahu, he said: “We are on the same wavelength.”

Trump concluded by stating that regardless of how the conflict ends, Iran will face serious difficulties in rebuilding itself, adding: “In any case, it will take several years for them to recover from this attack.”
