US-Iran Conflict: Trump Vows Post-Election End Amid Warnings of Protracted War
President Trump publicly asserts the US-Iran conflict will conclude after the November midterm elections, a claim he has reiterated multiple times.

The discrepancy between public statements and internal assessments creates significant uncertainty regarding the conflict's actual trajectory and duration.
