Reports previously suggested Washington may be preparing for a prolonged campaign that could last up to 100 days, possibly even into September. But US President Donald Trump said in Florida on Monday that the US-Israeli military strikes against Iran are predicted to be over soon.

In this edition of Dialogue there is an exclusive interview with Professor John Mearsheimer, the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at University of Chicago and one of the world's most influential scholars of international relations.
