WASHINGTON, March 11 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the US military operation in Iran is both a war and a short-term "expedition," sending mixed signals about when the operation will end.
"You just said this was a small 'expedition,' and then you said it was a war. So what is it?" one of the journalists accompanying the president to Ohio asked.
“Both,” D. Trump replied. “This is an expedition that will save us from war, and war, I mean, for them it’s war.”
Speaking to House Republicans on Monday, Donald Trump called the military operation against Iran a "short-term expedition" and promised to "move forward with greater resolve than ever to achieve final victory." He also demanded Iran's "unconditional surrender."
Earlier in the day, Trump told Axios that the US-Israeli operation against Iran would end "soon" because there were "almost no targets left to strike." –0–
