US military strike on Iran could become weeks-long war: Report

As tensions escalate between the United States and Iran, a recent report indicates that a military strike by the US could lead to a protracted conflict. President Donald Trump is intensifying military deployments in the region amid ongoing diplomatic efforts in Geneva aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions. Officials have asserted that the US will take decisive action to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, suggesting a willingness to resort to military means if necessary. This situation raises concerns about the potential for a lengthy war, which could have significant implications for regional stability and international relations. The backdrop of these developments includes ongoing debates within the US government regarding the appropriate response to Iran's nuclear program and its broader influence in the Middle East. As diplomatic channels remain open, the possibility of an armed conflict looms, prompting discussions about the ramifications for both American and Iranian interests in the region.
