Trump Refuses Timeline for Iran War, Says Decision Will Be “In My Bones”
President Donald Trump is facing renewed scrutiny after saying he will know when the war with Iran should end only “when I feel it in my bones.”
The remark came during a Fox News Radio interview with host Brian Kilmeade as the U.S. and Israeli military campaign against Iran enters its second week with no clear timeline.
According to multiple reports, Trump declined to give a concrete end date for the conflict and instead suggested the decision would be based on instinct. He also said U.S. forces would continue hitting Iran “very hard” in the coming days as operations expand.

The comments are drawing attention because earlier in the conflict Trump had suggested the campaign might last about four weeks, while at other points describing the mission as nearly complete.
According to reporting on the interview, Trump also refused to answer questions about potential military targets such as Iran’s Kharg Island oil hub, saying strategic decisions could change quickly.
With regional fighting intensifying and global markets watching closely, the question of how and when the war ends remains unresolved.
