When a ‘pause’ becomes an ending: Trump tries to bring Iran war to a close

President Trump declared an end to the war with Iran, warning that attacks would resume if Iran failed to end its nuclear program or reopen the Strait of Hormuz. However, the actual achievement of goals remains uncertain, as the US has targeted over 13,000 targets but hasn't achieved key objectives like eliminating Iran's nuclear arsenal, destroying its navy, or ending support for terrorist groups. Trump temporarily paused the effort to guide ships out of the strait while maintaining economic pressure.
