The military campaign in Iran could last weeks, according to US and Israeli officials.
“This is an extensive, coordinated, probably multiweek campaign,” Jeremy Bash, the former chief of staff for the CIA and the Department of Defense during the Obama administration, told NBC News Saturday.
Bash compared Operation Epic Fury to other campaigns in recent years, including the January capture of Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro, saying “those were largely ‘one and done.”

Saturday’s strike “is much larger than we’ve seen before from the Trump administration,” said Bash.
Similarly, Gen. Jack Keane told Fox News it could take several weeks for the US and Israel to take out Iranian leadership and military capabilities.
