Pentagon Extends Timeline: No End in Sight for US-Israeli Offensive Against Iran

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared Thursday that there is no fixed timeline for concluding the US-Israeli military campaign against Iran, now entering its third week. Speaking at a high-stakes press briefing, Hegseth stated, “We wouldn’t want to set a definitive time frame,” emphasizing that operations remain “very much on track.” He confirmed that President Donald Trump retains sole authority to determine when the offensive will cease.Behind closed doors, the Pentagon has reportedly requested over $200 billion in supplemental funding from Congress to sustain the conflict, according to sources familiar with the matter.
