According to the US “Wall Street Journal” report on the 9th, senior White House officials privately pointed out to US President Trump that the war between the US and Iran may continue until the end of his presidential term. The report quoted several US officials as saying that during meetings held in the White House Oval Office and War Room, US Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Rubio and others discussed with Trump the possibility that Iran may continue to resist under the US blockade and other military pressure. This may cause the conflict to continue until after the president's inauguration in January 2029. The report also said that senior White House officials privately acknowledged that the military conflict may drag on for several years, which contradicts Trump's claim that the US has defeated the Iranian military and that the Iranian regime is about to surrender. Trump told reporters on the same day that the war between the US and Iran will “end immediately” after the November midterm elections “because they can't hold on.”
