Former President Donald Trump said there is 'practically nothing left' to strike in Iran, signaling confidence that major targets have already been hit. However, officials on the ground are preparing for the possibility that the conflict could continue or escalate further.

In a closed-door meeting with local government leaders, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is operating under the assumption that the conflict will last 'a few weeks' rather than just days, according to attendees. Israel aims to conclude the most intensive phase of fighting before Passover or at least weaken Iran’s launch capabilities enough to transition into what officials described as an emergency routine.

Despite public statements suggesting significant progress, Israeli leaders appear to be planning for sustained military operations, reflecting uncertainty about how long the confrontation will endure and how Iran might respond.
