Rubio says we'll have 2 to 4 weeks' worth of additional new episodes of "Apprentice: Warmonger." SO MUCH WINNING!

Rubio tells allies Iran war will continue 2-4 more weeks

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told G7 foreign ministers on Friday that the war with Iran will continue for another two to four weeks, three sources with direct knowledge tell Axios.

Why it matters: This is the first time a senior U.S. official suggested the war would continue beyond the four to six-week timeframe President Trump has discussed since the war started.

Rubio also claimed during Friday's meeting in France that the U.S. was close to holding serious negotiations with Iran. At the same time, thousands more troops are heading to the region and the administration is considering escalatory options that would involve ground forces.

Rubio stressed that the U.S. is determined to achieve all of its objectives in the war.

So I'm guessing this means entrenched for the duration because no one knows what to do or has any intent of doing anything.
