U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he would make the final decision on when to end the attacks they have initiated against Iran, after consulting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump did not specify a clear timeline for when the attacks would cease.

Shortly after Mücteba Hamaney was elected as Iran's new leader, U.S. President Donald Trump, speaking to The Times of Israel, emphasized that he would make the final decision while not providing a clear timeline on when they would end the attacks they initiated against Iran.

"I WILL MAKE THE FINAL DECISION"

Claiming that he would make the decision to end the attacks on Iran at the right time considering everything, Trump said, "I will make the final decision, but I will also take Netanyahu's views into account."

"WE DESTROYED A COUNTRY THAT WANTED TO ELIMINATE ISRAEL"

On February 28, Trump stated that Iran, which they initiated attacks against, aimed to destroy Israel and its surroundings, saying, "We worked together and we destroyed a country that wanted to eliminate Israel."

Regarding whether Israel would continue its attacks if the U.S. ended the war, Trump said, "I don't think that will be necessary."

WHITE HOUSE SPOKESPERSON HAD GIVEN A TIMEFRAME

While Trump avoided giving a date on how long the attacks on Iran would last, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated in a Friday announcement that the Washington administration expected the war to last 4 to 6 weeks.
