The White House plans to complete its joint operation with Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran within the next four to six weeks. This was announced on Friday, March 6, by White House press Secretary Caroline Leavitt.

"I will not get ahead of the president [of the United States Donald Trump] by announcing any deadlines. But I can say that President Trump has already indicated that achieving the objectives of the operation <...> is expected to take about four to six weeks," she told reporters.

Leavitt clarified that Iran will be "in complete surrender" when the corresponding decision is first made by the American leader himself. According to her, this will happen when Tehran ceases to pose an alleged threat to Washington.

By now, as the White House spokeswoman emphasized, the American military has managed to do a great job to achieve their goals. So, in six days of fighting, they sank over 30 Iranian ships, and also reduced the number of retaliatory ballistic missile strikes from the attacked country by 90%.

Two days earlier, the Politico newspaper reported on the US plans to conduct its military operation against Iran for at least 100 days. The publication learned that representatives of the Central Command of the US Armed Forces (CENTCOM) appealed to the leadership of the Pentagon with a request to send them additional military intelligence officers, who were planned to be deployed up to and including September of this year. The corresponding request, as explained in the material, may be evidence of the failure of Trump's plans to meet four weeks.

On the same day, the US Senate rejected a resolution on limiting the powers of the head of the White House in a military operation in Iran. 52 people voted against the document, 47 voted in favor. On March 2, Leavitt, commenting on the course of military operations against the Islamic Republic, recalled that Washington's main goal is to destroy its missile weapons and military industry facilities.

All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
