“I have no time limits on anything. I want to get it done,” the Republican leader said in a phone call with the U.S. magazine on Wednesday.

Earlier this week, however, Trump said he was expecting the U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran would last four to five weeks. The operation began on Feb. 28.

The U.S. president also outlined several objectives for the conflict, including preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons or ballistic missiles, and installing “somebody that is rational and sane” to lead Iran.

Sending U.s. Ground Troops is Ruled Out for the Moment

On Thursday, the Republican-held House of Representatives failed to pass a war powers resolution aiming at reining in Trump’s attacks on Iran, one day after a similar measure failed to advance in the Senate. 

In a phone call with NBC News, Trump said that sending U.S. ground troops into Iran is a “waste of time,” suggesting that an invasion of the country is not an option at the moment.

Regarding the possibility of a ground invasion by the United States, Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said, “We are waiting for them because we are confident that we can confront them, and that would be a big disaster for them.”

He said Iran was fully ready for the ongoing conflict and is prepared for any other eventuality, even a ground invasion, as the country’s armed forces are ready for any scenario.
