Top White House advisers, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have privately warned President Donald Trump that the conflict with Iran could extend through the remainder of his presidency, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing U.S. officials.
The White House did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
The advisers told Trump in private discussions in the Oval Office and the Situation Room that Tehran could continue to resist U.S. pressure, potentially prolonging the conflict beyond Inauguration Day in January 2029, the Journal added.
The reported warning contrasts with Trump's own public remarks about the war. The president said on Wednesday he expected the war to end "immediately after" the U.S. midterm elections in November, arguing that Iran was trying to influence the vote but would be unable to sustain its resistance much longer.
Trump also acknowledged diplomatic talks are still a possibility but were not preferred.

So, if these were private conversations how does Ruters know so much about them?
Desperately trying to cook the mid-terms.
Don’t worry boys, the pres. is taking care of things and they were just testing that slide. We’ll promise those fools another 5 grand and it will be in the bag.
Oops! Somebody got some splain’ to do.
And awaaay we go!
“ So, if these were private conversations how does Ruters know so much about them?”
Exactly. Just a small handful of trusted advisers and somebody blabbed / sabotaged President Trump? Right.
Decimate their ability to produce, refine, or move oil and its over. Iran has nothing else to sell.
If only we had Resident Barack Hussein Obama
to send the Twelver Shia Mullahs another
$400 Billion Dollars
Then the Mullahs would be our good friends!
AND they would not build nuclear weapons!
Well if that’s the case ,we won’t have to worry about them for 100 years.
I thought I. heard someone say we won a long time ago.
Drop the bridges.
Bomb the electric turbines.
Stone Age.
No electrons.
No wheels across water.
This is easy to do.
The Persians seem unable or unwilling to throw off their yoke. Not my problem.
We can’t have a nutso death cult nuking New York. Already, they’ve ruined a region for way too many decades.
Just get it over with. Let them be a lesson for the ages.
STONE AGE.
Lather, rinse, repeat as necessary. And forever, as necessary.
Sow their fields with salt.
Bomb the mainland pumps to Kargh Island.
Done.
A 1 hour job, max.
WSJ..no named sources.
The war started in 1979.
Silly season bump
“So, if these were private conversations how does Ruters know so much about them?”
Because someone, or many someones, leaked them.
I never believed I could seriously question that, but here we are.
Their war against the US and Israel is the “forever war” we are finally putting an end to and there’s no time for any half-assed attempts. When the time is right for a coup de grâce, Trump will deliver it.
Iran, you’re fired!
This tit-for-tat stuff is nonsense. It can go on forever. Is DJT waiting until the rannies get lucky and actually hit a warship? Radar can certainly identify the location of a missile launch. That location should be smoking ruins within a few hours.
Crush them or go home.
It’s more of a timeline of no return. A point of no return would be too easy to miss!
Que Dr. Evil....How about NO!!!
