The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has informed his advisers that he expects any military operation against Iran to be a strike against the regime, avoiding an extension over weeks or months, according to NBC News. According to anonymous officials mentioned by NBC, Trump reportedly expressed a desire for it to be conclusive, although his advisers have not yet assured him that the regime would fall quickly after a potential military strike. Sources indicated that there is concern about the capability of the United States to defend itself against a possible retaliation from Iran.
