Israeli army spokesperson Effie Defrin said on Sunday that strikes on Iran and Lebanon’s Hezbollah group were expected to continue for “several more weeks.”
The US-based Axios news site separately reported that officials in Washington and allied capitals were preparing for American involvement to potentially stretch until September, even if the conflict shifted to a lower-intensity phase.
US-Israeli strikes on Iran began on February 28 and have reportedly killed at least 1,300 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets.
