Trump vows Iran war ends in November; WSJ: officials warn it may last to 2029
President Trump publicly promises the conflict with Iran will end immediately after the November congressional power struggle, but the Wall Street Journal reports senior officials warned him the war could continue until the end of his term. The UN nuclear agency has referred Iran to the Security Council over nuclear violations, though Russia and China are expected to shield Tehran. The contradiction between public assurance and internal warnings creates uncertainty over the conflict's trajectory and its market implications.
