"I Don't Think Too Long": Trump Says Iran Strikes Likely To Be Short-Lived

President Donald Trump said renewed attacks on Iran would likely be short-lived, reiterating his claim that the US controls the Strait of Hormuz after fresh fighting spiked energy prices and rekindled fears of an open-ended war. Asked on Wednesday how long the bombing campaign could last, Trump told reporters, "I don't think too long."The US military carried out a second round of strikes in three days overnight, targeting radar systems and mine-laying capabilities along Iran's southern coast. Iran retaliated with drone and missile volleys on US bases across the Middle East, in line with a pattern used throughout the six-month war."We took out all of the new equipment that they tried to build along the Strait of Hormuz - some defensive, some offensive," Trump said.
