Trump Calls Iran Campaign a 'Four-Week Process,' Says Iran Wants Talks But 'Should Have Talked Last Week'

Speaking by phone from his Florida residence, President Trump described the ongoing U.S.-Israel military campaign against Iran as a 'four-week process,' estimating it would take 'about four weeks, or even less' given Iran's size. Trump again referenced the killing of 48 senior Iranian officials in Saturday's strikes while reiterating openness to further diplomacy. He signaled skepticism about imminent talks, saying: 'They want to talk, but I said you should have talked last week, not this week.'
