TRUMP SAYS IRAN OPERATION IS “WELL AHEAD OF SCHEDULE”. Basically, Trump realises he miscalculated the timing of the attack and is trying to placate markets before cash open.

What was initially said to be a 4 day attack, then turned to 4 weeks in Trump's comments yesterday, yet we are supposed to believe things are "well ahead of schedule"?
I'm not so sure. Reports were surfacing yesterday that Trump was furious that Israeli missiles were still flying after what was supposed to only be a 48 hour period. i.e. from Friday night when the attacks started to Monday morning (before the market opens). That timeline makes most sense for what I think Trump wanted (Venezuela situation), but that expectation has proven a miscalculation.
Not a political statement, I am British and do not support either US political party. Just an observation as I see it from reports I've been reading.
