White House: Israel’s campaign against Iran to last “weeks, not days”

Senior officials from both the Israeli government and the White House have announced that Israel’s military campaign against Iran is expected to stretch over “weeks, not days”.

In a video address, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stark warning to Tehran, stating that Israel will “strike every site and every target of the Ayatollah’s regime”, Caliber.Az reports via foreign media.

Iran, in turn, has threatened to escalate its own attacks should Israel continue its military offensive.

To recall, on June 13, Israel launched a large-scale airstrike targeting over 100 sites across Iran, including key nuclear and missile facilities in Tehran, Natanz, Ahvaz, and East Azerbaijan Province. The operation involved around 200 aircraft and more than 330 precision-guided munitions, aiming to halt Iran’s nuclear weapons development and eliminate senior IRGC commanders and scientists.

Israeli leaders described the strikes as a preemptive move against existential threats from Iran. Tehran blamed Israel and the US for the attack and vowed strong retaliation, launching over 100 drones towards Israel and closing its airspace.
