According to a Politico report citing an internal Pentagon notification, United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has requested additional military intelligence officers to support operations against Iran for at least 100 days and possibly through September.
When the United States and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iran last Saturday, the operation was framed as a swift military campaign. Donald Trump later described it as a limited effort expected to last roughly four to five weeks.

🚨The Trump administration initially suggested several shorter timelines for U.S. military involvement against Iran, ranging from just a few days to roughly a month:
In an interview with Axios, President Trump described “off-ramp” options where combat operations could be concluded in as little as two or three days.
On March 1, 2026, Trump repeatedly stated that “Operation Epic Fury” was intended as a “four-week process” and could wrap up in “four weeks or less”.
In separate interviews with The New York Times and other outlets, the president projected a timeframe of four to five weeks.
Some early strategic analyses indicated the administration originally communicated a one-week timeline for certain objectives, which was later extended as the conflict expanded.
Its NOT going to go into September thats RIDICULOUS, just look at Iran now, I give it another 2-3 weeks tops before this is over.
“Report”...
Hit piece, can’t go past 90 without Congress. This kind of speculation is nothing more than propaganda.
If it goes that long Congress will have approved in some fashion, as an authorized military action of actual war.
Once they control the skies they need to increase attacks by 10 fold and end this.
Our dentist is Iranian, today my Mom went to the dentist and he told her how the IRGC murdered his father, he is so thrilled about what is happening over there and he said “Honestly I hope Trump kills them all”
Both links have a “redirect notice.” What is that? Cannot access either.
This is starting to remind me of Ukraine. We are losing because we aren’t winning fast enough.
Sure it will. As you all wade through the disinformation, Axis Sally headlines over the next couple of weeks just remember...this is the same posse of assclowns who told you, ‘Biden was as sharp as a tack!’ and, ‘It was a mostly peaceful protest.’
Not a big deal. They are mobilizing reserves. Have to put something on their orders. They always put way more than actually expected.
Politico= Rat lies told by rat liars.
And?
If its in Politico, then it must be true!
I always go to MBAs when I want excellent military analyses. /S
Business Today is writing fan fiction.
We need a pool bet on the date of the first use of “Quagmire” by the press.
They dop control the air, and the attacks are increasing. This is fear porn. pure & simple.
How many times must it be said - it wil stop when the objectives have been met.
Trump is not driven by polls or pundits.
Politico providing a preview to their upcoming crap articles blaming Trump for a bad stock market and high gas prices until at least the midterms.
