Trump has just told Republicans that the Iran war is “almost over,” a claim that arrives at a moment when the party’s mid‑term election prospects are already in peril.

Clickorlando reports that Trump is offering Republicans a “murky path forward” as the Iran conflict continues to cloud the party’s mid‑term strategy. Yet CBS News notes that Trump himself says the war will end within weeks, a promise that stands in stark contrast to Pentagon reports of “weeks of ground operations” and the arrival of thousands more U.S. troops in the Middle East.
