Trump aides warn Iran war could last through end of term, WSJ reports

The U.S. war with Iran could last throughout President Donald Trump's term in office - until 2029, several top White House officials are warning, according to information provided to The Wall Street Journal.

Among those who have warned Trump that the war could be protracted are Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, WSJ's sources say.

They reportedly see a risk that the Iranian regime may continue to resist the U.S. blockade and other military pressure.

The report contradicts Trump's previous statement that he believes the Iran war will be over after the U.S. midterm elections in November this year.

"I believe the war will end immediately after the election," he told reporters on Wednesday, claiming that Iran "cannot hold out any longer."
