US advisors warn Trump Iran conflict could last until 2029

Iran conflict Donald Trump White House advisors nuclear ambitions Strait of Hormuz

White House advisors, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have privately warned President Donald Trump that the conflict with Iran could persist through the end of his term in January 2029. These warnings, reportedly discussed in the Oval Office and the Situation Room, suggest that Tehran may continue to resist American military and economic pressure despite ongoing naval blockades and sanctions.

This internal assessment contrasts with President Trump's public statements. Trump has asserted that the war will end “immediately” following the November midterm elections. He has also stated that he does not regret the decision to engage in the conflict, emphasizing that his administration will not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons.

The conflict has entered its seventh month, marked by increased military tension in the Strait of Hormuz and rising oil prices, which have exceeded $100 per barrel. Meanwhile, the IAEA Board of Governors has referred Iran's nuclear file to the UN Security Council due to a lack of cooperation regarding undeclared sites.
