The U.S.-Iran conflict, launched as Operation Epic Fury, has seen its expected duration expand without a clear endpoint.
President Trump’s recent statements indicate an open-ended commitment, diverging from earlier administration assurances of a swift resolution.
This shift occurs as reports emerge of Iranian migrants gathering at Europe’s Channel coast, using the war to strengthen asylum claims despite questionable timelines of their journeys.
Initial estimates suggested a limited engagement, but that appears to have all changed within the space of less than one week.
Trump confirmed the indefinite nature, stating “I have no time limits on anything. I want to get it done.”
