Trump: Operations Against Iran May Continue for Four Weeks.
Donald Trump, President of the United States, stated on Sunday, March 1, 2026, that military operations against Iran could continue for approximately four weeks. He emphasized that given Iran’s vast geographic scope, achieving the designated objectives requires sustained strikes over that period.
These remarks come after the killing of Ali Khamenei during joint United States and Israeli attacks; an event that has pushed regional developments into an unprecedented and highly sensitive phase.
Simultaneously, reports indicate that several senior Iranian military commanders were also killed. Official Iranian sources have confirmed the deaths of multiple high-ranking military figures, though full details have not been disclosed. Observers say these developments could significantly affect Iran’s command structure and security balance, with implications extending beyond its borders.
In addition to military casualties, reports of civilian losses have raised widespread concern. Local Iranian officials have stated that in one of the attacks, more than 150 students were killed at a school. If ultimately confirmed, this would represent one of the deadliest civilian incidents in the recent escalation.
As military operations continue and Washington reiterates its intention to sustain them over the coming weeks, the outlook for the crisis remains uncertain and highly tense.
