Trump Aides Fear Iran Conflict Could Last Until End of His Term in 2029

Advisers to President Donald Trump have privately warned that a potential war with Iran could drag on until he leaves office in 2029, according to a new report. This assessment sharply contradicts Trump's own public statement made on Wednesday, in which he suggested the conflict would end 'immediately' after the US midterm elections in November. The internal concern among aides reflects a more cautious and prolonged outlook on the trajectory of any military engagement with Iran. The divergence between Trump's optimistic public messaging and his team's private projections highlights significant uncertainty within the administration over the conflict's timeline.
