Trump says he has “no time limits” on how long war with Iran could go on

President Donald Trump said in an interview published Thursday that he has “no time limits” on how long the war with Iran could go on.

“I have no time limits on anything,” the president told Time in a Wednesday phone call. “I want to get it done.”

Trump has previously said publicly that he expects the war to last four to five weeks, but observers note those timelines could potentially change if he faces increasing political pressure domestically or decides his objectives have been reached.

He detailed several objectives to Time on Wednesday: “They can’t have a nuclear weapon. That’s number one, two, and three. Number four, no ballistic missiles.” Another aim, Trump said, is installing “somebody that is rational and sane” to lead Iran.

The president also responded to a question about whether Americans should be concerned about retaliatory attacks in the United States.

“I guess,” Trump said. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”
