President Trump put a timeline on the Iran war for the first time, saying combat operations would last "four weeks or so" in an interview with the Daily Mail. In a Sunday video address he called three dead US service members "true American patriots" but warned: "There will likely be more before it ends - that's the way it is." He said strikes would continue until "all objectives are achieved" but has not publicly defined what those objectives are. No exit strategy has been presented to Congress.
