Trump's 12 'War Ending' Claims: Why US-Iran Conflict Persists Despite Optimism

• US President Donald Trump has repeatedly suggested the US-Iran conflict is nearing its end, making at least 12 such claims.
• Trump's messaging includes assertions of achieved objectives, decimated Iranian capabilities, and deals being 'very close'.
• Despite rhetoric, the conflict shows few signs of abating; Iran has not met US demands, and strikes continue.
• Analysts suggest Trump's 'war ending' narrative aims to signal strength, pressure Iran, and manage markets.
• The lack of consistent messaging raises questions about the administration's clear endgame, with escalation risks remaining.
