Washington, Sept. 3 -- US President Donald Trump has indicated that the latest American military strikes against Iran may not continue for long, saying he does not expect the bombing campaign to last "too long".
The comments came after the US military carried out its second round of strikes in three days overnight, targeting radar systems and mine-laying capabilities along Iran's southern coast. Iran responded with drone and missile attacks on US bases across the Middle East, continuing a pattern of retaliation during the six-month conflict.
Asked on Wednesday how long the US bombing campaign could continue, Trump said he did not think it would last too long. The latest US strikes are aimed at weakening Iran's military capabilities, particularly systems that could threaten shipping and US forces in the region. The escalation comes amid continued tensions between Washington and Tehran.
