Iran War to End in Weeks, No US Ground Troops Needed, says Rubio

The U.S. expects its military operations against Iran to conclude within weeks, not months, and Washington can meet all its objectives without using ground troops, U.S. Secretary ​of State Marco Rubio said on Friday.

Meanwhile, an Iranian attack on an airbase in Saudi Arabia seriously wounded two U.S. military personnel and



injured another 10, a U.S. official told Reuters, as drones and missiles continued to strike around the Gulf.

Rubio told ‌reporters after meeting G7 counterparts in France that Washington was "on or ahead of schedule in that operation, and expect to conclude it at the appropriate time here - a matter of weeks, not months."
