Trump advisers warn Iran conflict may last through end of his term – report
The advisers told Trump in private discussions in the Oval Office and the Situation Room that Tehran could continue to resist US pressure, potentially prolonging the conflict, the WSJ wrote.
Top White House advisers, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have privately cautioned President Donald Trump that the conflict with Iran could persist through the end of his presidential term, according to a Wall Street Journal report citing US officials. These discussions in the Oval Office and Situation Room suggested Tehran might continue to resist US pressure, potentially extending the conflict beyond January 2029. This contrasts with Trump's public statements, where he expressed an expectation for the war to conclude "immediately after" the US midterm elections in November, asserting that Iran would be unable to sustain its resistance much longer. Trump's comments were made as oil prices rose above $100 a barrel amid renewed US-Iran military action, with the president linking the conflict to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
