[Trump on Iran: I can choose a long-term battle or end it in two or three days] According to a report by Golden Finance citing AXIOS, U.S. President Trump stated in an interview on Saturday that he has reserved multiple 'exit strategies' for the 'Epic Fury Operation' against Iran. Trump said: 'I can intervene long-term and take control of the entire situation, or I can end it all in two or three days and tell the Iranians: "If you plan to restart (nuclear and missile programs), then we'll meet again in a few years."' In any case, it will take them several years to recover.' Trump listed two main reasons for launching this attack—first, the failure of negotiations led by his envoys Whitcoff and Kushner earlier this week. 'The Iranians always come close to reaching an agreement and then back out—repeatedly. From this, I can see that they actually don’t want to truly reach an agreement.' The second reason is Iran's actions over the past few decades. Additionally, according to a senior U.S. official, the U.S.-Israel joint combat plan is expected to involve a large-scale bombing campaign lasting at least five days.
