WHITE HOUSE: IRAN OPERATION COULD LAST 4–6 WEEKS
The White House says the objectives of Operation Epic Fury are expected to take about four to six weeks.
Officials say six days into the campaign, Iran’s naval capacity has been heavily degraded, with 30+ vessels destroyed and retaliatory missile strikes down roughly 90%.
For markets, the key issue is timing.
A defined 4-6 week window signals the administration is aiming for a short, contained operation rather than an open-ended conflict -- something energy markets and investors are watching closely.
That matters because the region sits next to the Strait of Hormuz, where roughly 20% of global oil supply moves.
If the timeline holds, the economic shock could remain limited.
If it stretches, the ripple effects on oil prices, shipping routes, and global risk markets could escalate quickly.
