Iranian Army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia said that a future war with the United States (US) could last longer than the previous conflict and that the American president would not dictate the timing or the conditions of its end.

President Donald Trump said he still needs to “take care” of one or two targets in Iran, citing Pickaxe Mountain, and repeated that he could give Tehran “the hammer.” Revolutionary Guards spokesman Hossein Mohebbi said that in a conflict with the US there are no geographical limitations and that a vast theater has been defined to inflict damage on the enemy. Commentator Tucker Carlson claimed without evidence that Trump could decide within days on a nuclear strike against Iran and alleged that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pressing for it daily.
