Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Netanyahu Says US-Israeli War On Iran 'Not Going To Take Years'
Caption: Netanyahu Says US-Israeli War On Iran ‘Not Going To Take Years’. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the war against Iran would be “quick and decisive” and “not an endless war,” rejecting comparisons to prolonged regional conflicts. Speaking on Fox News’ Hannity, Netanyahu insisted the campaign may take time but “is not going to take years.” U.S. President Donald Trump, who joined Israel in launching strikes on Iran, initially suggested the war could last four to five weeks, though officials have since indicated operations remain open-ended. Iran has retaliated with missile and drone attacks on Israel, U.S. forces and Gulf states hosting American bases, disrupting key energy shipments and major global flight routes. Explosions were reported in Tel Aviv as Israeli air defenses intercepted incoming Iranian missiles, while Israel struck Iran’s state broadcaster complex in Tehran. Israeli forces also targeted Iran-backed Hezbollah positions across Lebanon and reinforced troop deployments near the southern Lebanese border despite a November 2024 ceasefire. Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani said the campaign’s duration could shift depending on developments but indicated preparations currently cover a period of weeks, with ground deployment inside Iran seen as unlikely. In a further escalation, two drones believed to be launched from Iran hit the U.S. embassy in Riyadh, causing minor damage, while additional drones were intercepted by Saudi defenses.
