(Bloomberg) -- A top aide to President Donald Trump said the Pentagon estimates the Iran war, now in its third week, would take between four and six weeks.
Kevin Hassett, head of the White Houses National Economic Council, offered the timeline along with a caveat that the ultimate decision on when the war will conclude lies with Trump. He was among several administration officials on Sunday asking Americans for patience as energy prices spike, saying the goal of eliminating Iran as a threat in the Middle East is worth it.
As of Saturday, the Pentagon believed that it would take four to six weeks to complete this mission and that were ahead of schedule, Hassett said on CBS . We expect that the global economy is going to have a big positive shock as soon as this is over.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright signaled the war may last several more weeks with oil and gasoline prices elevated as the US and Israel seek to destroy Iranian military capabilities.

I think I'd rather hear from the Pentagon than Kevin Asshat.
