March 1 (Reuters) - ⁠U.S. President Donald Trump suggested ⁠the conflict with Iran could ‌go on for the next four weeks, the Daily Mail newspaper reported on Sunday.

"It's ​always been a ⁠four-week process. We ⁠figured it will be four weeks ⁠or so. ‌It's always been about a four-week process ⁠so - as strong as it is, ​it's a ‌big country, it'll take four ⁠weeks - or ​less," the British newspaper quoted Trump as saying.

Trump told the ⁠newspaper he remained open to ​more talks with the Iranians, but did not say if that ⁠would happen "soon."

"I don't know," Trump said, according to the report. "They want to talk, but I said you ​should have talked ⁠last week, not this week," he ​added.
