Officials in Israel and the United States believe the war with Iran is expected to continue for an extended period, with current assessments indicating that the fighting will last through Pesach and may continue even longer.

The evaluation, reported by i24, is based on internal discussions held in Jerusalem and Washington and reflects a shared understanding among senior officials in both capitals. According to the report, military operations are continuing at full intensity, with no signs of a slowdown.

Israeli defense officials say the U.S. military remains deeply engaged, maintaining what they describe as a “full throttle” pace in terms of operational activity and involvement in the conflict.

Senior Israeli officials also assess that President Donald Trump remains committed to continuing the campaign at this stage and is not exerting pressure to curb or limit operations. At the same time, defense officials note that in previous situations—such as the decision to halt strikes against the Houthis—policy changes were announced suddenly through the media without prior coordination.

There is currently no defined end date for the war, and U.S. officials have not set one. On the contrary, expectations are that the campaign will continue.

During a security cabinet meeting held last night that extended past midnight, Israeli ministers were told that the war is likely to continue for several more weeks. According to professional assessments cited by Channel 12, the military plan is progressing quickly and in line with its original objectives, but there is no expectation of an imminent end.

Officials involved in the discussions said, “There is no expiration date for the war, and the Americans have not set one either—on the contrary.” Israeli sources emphasized that additional operations inside Iranian territory are still planned, aimed at further undermining the regime.

At the same time, updated intelligence assessments do not indicate an immediate collapse of the Iranian government. In recent briefings, political leaders were told that there are no visible signs of surrender in Tehran, and the regime does not appear close to falling.

According to officials familiar with the matter, “Surrender to the United States and Israel is simply not part of the Iranian regime’s vocabulary.” This understanding has reinforced expectations that the conflict will be prolonged and that additional steps will be necessary before the strategic objectives defined at the outset of the campaign are achieved.
