ALBAWABA - The war in the region has entered its second week on Saturday, with several political experts predicting the expected length of attacks between Israel, the United States and Iran.
Israel and the U.S. launched a preemptive attack across multiple cities in Iran on Feb. 28, killing many top Iranian officials and the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In response, Tehran launched "Operation True Promise 4" targeting Tel Aviv and American bases in the region, including the Gulf states.

The Israeli army is preparing for a war expected to last at least a month, Yedioth Ahronoth reported, quoting a General Staff official in the IDF.
A senior officer revealed the planning aligns with statements by U.S. President Donald Trump calling for Iran's "total surrender." "Trump spoke about four weeks. We are also preparing for at least a month," the official said.
In addition, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said during a Sunday situation assessment that Israelis should prepare for a prolonged conflict.
