[Senior White House official said the U.S.-Iran war may continue until the end of Trump's term] September 10th, according to the Wall Street Journal's report on the 9th, senior White House officials privately pointed out to U.S. President Trump that the U.S.-Iran war may continue until the end of his presidential term. The report quoted multiple U.S. officials as saying that in meetings held in the Oval Office and Situation Room of the White House, U.S. Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Rubio and others discussed with Trump the situation in which Iran may continue to resist despite the U.S. blockade and other military pressure, which may cause the conflict to continue beyond the presidential inauguration day in January 2029. The report also said that senior White House officials privately admitted that the military conflict could drag on for years, contradicting Trump's claim that the United States has defeated the Iranian army and that the Iranian regime is about to surrender. Trump told reporters that day that the war between the United States and Iran would "end immediately" after the midterm elections in November, "because they (Iran) can't hold on any longer."
