Doha, Qatar: President Donald Trump says the US-Israel war on Iran could be a “short-term excursion,” Al Jazeera reported.

He made the remarks at a Republican gathering in Doral, Florida.

In an earlier interview with CBS, Trump said: “I think the war is very complete, pretty much. They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no Air Force.”

The US military is “very far” ahead of his initial 4-5 week estimated timeframe to wrap up the assault on Iran, he added.
