BREAKING: President Trump told the Daily Mail that he estimates the attack will last 4 weeks, maybe less.

‘It’s always been a four week process,” Trump said. “We figured it will be four weeks or so. It’s always been about a four week process so – as strong as it is, it’s a big country, it’ll take four weeks – or less.”

He said he hasn’t been surprised by any of the outcomes of the strikes thus far.

“No, I think it’s going as per planned. You know, other that we took out their entire leadership – far, far more than what we thought. Looks like 48,” he said.

The President remained opened to more talks with the Iranians, but couldn’t say if they would happen ‘soon.’

“I don’t know,” Trump said. “They want to, they want to talk, but I said you should have talked last week not this week.”

“I’m getting ready to do so,” he said when asked if he would give a speech or remarks on the attacks. He didn’t give specifics on timing.

The President said he had spoken today with the leaders of Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan and a ‘couple of others.

Three US servicemembers were killed in the fighting. Trump acknowledged that the casualties were the first in his second term, as the January capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and the June bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities were pulled off without a single American death.

“We’ve done pretty well,” he noted, adding, “But they’re great people, with outstanding records, outstanding.”

He said his people had been in touch with the families of the deceased servicemembers.

“And I’ll be meeting with their families at the appropriate time,” he said.

Trump said he’d ‘maybe’ travel out to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware for the solemn dignified transfer of the troops’ remains or invite the families to the White House.

He also remained hopeful that a democracy could grow in Iran after the US and Israeli strikes end.

“I do,’ he said when asked if he thought it was possible. “It’ll be very interesting to watch. But a lot of things could happen and a lot of very positive things could happen.”

President Trump is expected back in Washington, D.C. later today.
