- Trump says the US-Iran war will end immediately after November's midterm elections, seven months after the conflict began.
- Trump initially portrayed the war as a "short-term excursion," claiming it could be wrapped up in "four to five" weeks.
Why it matters: The war has now lasted seven months — far beyond Trump's original "four to five" weeks estimate — with an end date explicitly tied to post-midterm timing. Voters will cast ballots with the conflict still active and no resolution before Election Day.
