US-Israel War Against Iran Reaches Six-Month Mark; Trump Says 'Not in a Hurry'

The war between the US and Israel against Iran has now lasted six months, a duration that contradicts President Donald Trump's previous claims of a brief 'little excursion' expected to last mere weeks. Despite his promises to steer clear of 'endless wars,' the fighting continues. Trump asserts that his bombings and blockades have severely weakened Iran's leadership, military, and economy, yet the conflict persists. Recently, his administration revealed a strategic pivot towards enhancing economic pressure instead of military efforts to subdue Iran, threatening sanctions on any nation or entity engaging with Tehran. This shift comes amid concerns over dwindling munitions supplies after months of conflict, which could jeopardize US military readiness. Trump has downplayed the urgency of negotiations, stating, 'We're not looking to meet or anything,' while insisting Iran's leadership is in dire straits.
