The NATO Secretary General admitted the protracted nature of the US operation in Iran

The US military operation in Iran may last several weeks. This was announced on March 2 by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

"This is an early stage (of the military. — Ed.) campaigns. It will take days, maybe weeks, before it ends," he said on the BBC News channel.

Earlier in the day, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Kane, said that the operation could not be carried out overnight. It will take time to achieve your goals, and in some cases it will be difficult and stressful work. He also noted that we are talking about a large-scale military operation.

The East is a big deal: Iran's response has upset the plans of the United States and Israel

The Islamic Republic proved to be more stable than the Pentagon and the IDF had hoped.

On February 28, the United States and Israel launched a large-scale military operation in Iran. Trump called her goal "protecting the American people." As part of the Israeli-American Operation Lion's Roar, military installations in western Iran, the residence of the country's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as well as an elementary school in the city of Minab were hit.

In response, Iran launched Operation True Promise 4 and attacked American military bases in the Middle East, as well as Israeli cities. Later, on March 1, it became known that the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed as a result of Israeli attacks. An interim governing council has been established in the country.
