The President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated that the conflict with Iran could last up to four weeks, emphasizing that military operations are \u201cproceeding according to plan.\u201d In a phone interview with Daily Mail, he also confirmed the deaths of three American soldiers during recent operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Trump, the three service members were killed on the ground, while their identities have not yet been made public. \u201cThey were great people. In operations like these, unfortunately, losses are expected,\u201d he said, adding that the situation may continue and risks remain present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The American president stressed that these are the first U.S. military personnel losses during his second term. He mentioned that previous operations, such as the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro in January and the bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities in June, had not resulted in American casualties. \u201cWe\u2019ve done a pretty good job,\u201d he commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA Four-Week Process\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Trump estimated that the confrontation with Iran could last around four weeks. \u201cWe\u2019ve always considered it a four-week process. It\u2019s a big country \u2014 it will take four weeks or even less,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about the progress of the operations, the president stated that \u201ceverything is going according to plan,\u201d claiming that \u201ctheir entire leadership has been neutralized \u2014 more than we expected. It appears to be 48 people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open to Talks, Without Promising a Ceasefire<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Trump appeared open to the possibility of continuing talks with Tehran but did not guarantee a temporary halt to the attacks. \u201cI don\u2019t know. They want to talk, but I told them they should have done it last week, not this week,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From his residence at Mar-a-Lago, the American president noted that he remains in constant contact with military leaders and is expected to address the American public again after receiving further briefings on developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contacts With Middle Eastern Leaders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Trump revealed that he has held conversations with leaders of Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, and other countries in the region. When asked about the possibility of Saudi Arabia becoming directly involved in the conflict, he replied briefly: \u201cThey\u2019re fighting \u2014 they\u2019re fighting too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. president is expected to return later to Washington. According to him, aides have already contacted the families of the fallen soldiers, and he plans to meet them \u201cat the appropriate time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, Trump expressed optimism that after the operations are completed, a democratic regime could emerge in Iran. \u201cI believe that. It will be interesting to see. A lot of things can happen, and many positive developments could come out of this situation,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n
