The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

President Donald Trump told Republicans at their midterm convention in Dallas that the U.S.-Israel war with Iran would end “immediately after” November’s midterm elections, as the conflict enters its seventh month. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have warned Trump that Tehran could withstand U.S. military attacks, economic pressure and a blockade through the end of his term in 2029. U.S. naval planning calls for a sustained Persian Gulf presence through at least year’s end, and intelligence indicates Iran has resumed ballistic missile production at underground sites including Khojir.
