💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 LEAVITT REITERATES THE PENTAGON’S ASSESSMENT THAT THE WAR IN IRAN WILL LAST 4–6 WEEKS.

“The president, the commander-in-chief, and the Pentagon have always stated that the estimated duration of Operation ‘Epic Rage’ is four to six weeks.

We are on day 30. Today.

So again, you can calculate how much more time the Pentagon will need to fully achieve the objectives of Operation ‘Epic Rage,’ which, I repeat, are the destruction of Iran’s navy, the elimination of its ballistic missiles, and the dismantling of its missile and drone production.”

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 LEAVITT: Trump would be interested in calling on Arab countries to help cover the costs of the war.

20 tankers are expected to pass through the Strait of Hormuz in the coming days.

The United States does not support Iran introducing fees for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump has refused to rule out the possibility of ground operations.

“The U.S. president has been repeatedly asked about ground operations or potential ground operations.

He has clearly refused to rule them out.

The Pentagon’s task is to provide the president with the maximum range of options.

That does not mean he has made a decision, and he will never inform the media of such a decision so as not to give our enemy an advantage.”

Trump expects the Iranian regime to reach a deal with the United States.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Leavitt on Trump’s threats to strike Iranian power plants and desalination facilities:

“Of course, this administration and the U.S. Armed Forces will always act within the law, but in terms of achieving the full objectives of the operation, Trump will move forward steadily, and he expects the Iranian regime to reach a deal with the administration.”

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY LEAVITT: Trump wants to see a deal reached before the April 6 deadline.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Leavitt:

“Iran’s ballistic missile and drone attacks have decreased by approximately 90 percent.

The United States is also destroying the Iranian regime’s naval forces.

So far, we have destroyed more than 150 of their military vessels.”

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Leavitt suggests that Iran is lying about the absence of negotiations with the United States.

“Iran’s leadership is very fragmented. Identifying Iran’s leadership is part of diplomacy.”

💬 🇮🇱🇺🇸 Leavitt: “Our nation was founded nearly 250 years ago on Judeo-Christian values.”

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran must accept defeat, or Trump will “unleash hell” on it — the White House.

#️⃣ 🇮🇱 In Israel, terrorists will be executed by hanging — Kan.

The Knesset has approved a law introducing the death penalty for terrorists. According to the approved version of the bill, executions will be carried out by hanging… the law may also apply to Jewish terrorists.

#️⃣ 🇨🇳🇮🇷🇺🇸 According to sources, China is providing Iran with intelligence on the deployment of U.S. troops and equipment — HUMINT.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 IRAN’S FOREIGN MINISTRY: We have held no negotiations with the United States during the 31 days of the war.

#️⃣ 🇪🇺🇮🇷 EU officials: Iran is pressuring the Houthis to strike shipping in the Red Sea.

There are internal disagreements within the Houthi leadership over their next steps in the war involving Iran.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump (1987):

“Why don’t we go in there and take control of some of their oil resources?

[And how would you do that? Send in the Marines? Risk a war?]

A war will happen anyway, and it will start in the Middle East.

[What if the Soviet Union says: if you do this to Iran, we will intervene?]

I don’t think they would. We need to go in and seize one of their major oil facilities — actually seize and hold it — to compensate for the losses, because the United States has already suffered significant damage from Iran.”

#️⃣ 🇦🇪🇮🇷 An UAE minister told Al Arabiya that “coexistence with this Iran has become impossible.”

💬 🇮🇱 Netanyahu:

Our policy has been absolutely pro-Christian — the complete opposite of the slander that is being foisted at us.

💬 🇮🇱 Netanyahu:

Israel is one of the few countries in the world that stands up for Christians.

#️⃣ 🇨🇳🇨🇺 China delivered about 15,000 tons of rice to Cuba as emergency food aid.

It’s part of a much larger Chinese package (up to 60,000+ tons total) meant to ease Cuba’s deep food shortages.

💬 🇬🇧 Former Head of the British Army General Lord Dannatt:

If I was advising Donald Trump now, I would advise him… to declare victory and start to wind the war down.

But I’m also pretty sure the timing of the start of this operation was not something the Americans agreed to. It was something the Israelis decided to do.

The longer this goes on, the lower the chances of regime change in Iran, in my view.

This is probably pushing regime change further away rather than bringing it closer.

💬 🇬🇧 Former Head of the British Army General Lord Dannatt:

US domestic opinion will be very averse to seeing large numbers of American service members coming home in body bags.

It would be foolish for any American military planner to think this could be done without casualties.

There will be casualties. There will be fatalities. The question is how many, and to what extent the US public is willing to tolerate them.

I think Donald Trump, if he’s honest with himself, has to admit he’s bitten off something pretty big — perhaps more than he can chew.

I also think a lot of domestic opinion is swinging against him, so he has some very difficult issues to face.

Frankly, if I were a senior US military adviser, I would be prepared to draw up plans for a ground operation, but I would make very clear to the president the difficulties involved and the likelihood of casualties.

My bottom-line advice would be: Mr. President, I wouldn’t do this.

#️⃣ 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump has signaled 12 times that the Iran War may be close to ending, repeatedly claiming victory, predicting it would wrap up soon, or pointing to possible peace talks—even as the conflict continues into its fifth week.
