President Donald Trump admitted in a letter to Congress that it is not possible at this time to know how long the U.S. attacks on Iran would last.
In an official notification to Congress about Trumps war on Iran, the president set out how he does not have a clear timeline for the military action, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, that he launched on February 28.
Although the United States desires a quick and enduring peace, it is not possible at this time to know the full scope and duration of military operations that may be necessary, Trump wrote Monday. Following the letter, Trump caused alarm in a separate Truth Social post Monday night, where he said that wars can be fought forever.
Trump has offered vague and inconsistent timelines for the conflict. He said Sunday that the bombing could last four to five weeks.

Per current polling, almost 60% want no part of this war. I hope that carries through to November.
