Isreal Iran Conflict: US Defense Secretary Says No Fixed Timeline for Iran Military Operation

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has stated that there is no fixed timeline for the ongoing US military operation in Iran, as the Israel US Iran war continues to escalate across the region.

Speaking at a press conference, Hegseth said the campaign could last two, four, or even six weeks, depending on operational conditions and battlefield developments. He emphasized that the duration of the Iran conflict operation may expand or contract based on evolving security assessments.

The Defense Secretary clarified that the final decision regarding the length and scope of the operation rests with President Donald Trump, highlighting the White House’s central role in shaping the US military strategy in the Middle East.

Hegseth also noted that there are currently no American ground troops deployed inside Iran. However, he did not completely rule out that possibility, signaling potential shifts in US force posture if the regional war escalation intensifies further.
