Six months after the United States and Israel initiated hostilities with Iran, the conflict continues with no clear end date. President Trump had initially projected the war would conclude within four to five weeks, but it has now extended for half a year.
In recent statements, Trump indicated that the war "will continue for as long as necessary" and has not set a timetable for resuming peace negotiations with Tehran. The ongoing nature of the conflict marks a significant deviation from initial expectations.
The BBC's Tom Bateman has analyzed the developments and assessed the accomplishments during the six-month period of conflict with Iran. The duration of the war and the lack of progress toward resolution remain central points of discussion.
