Trump Says Iran War Could End After Midterms, Warns Over Pickaxe Mountain

President Trump said the war with Iran could end after the US midterm elections, while his administration has not ruled out the conflict lasting until 2029. He also said activity had been seen at Iran's Pickaxe Mountain and urged Tehran 'not to get cute.' Trump accused Iran of meddling in the midterms as missiles targeted a US base in Jordan, and he denied that Iranian deals had damaged US aircraft at the Jordan airbase. Vice President Vance, reportedly skeptical, sought direct intelligence from US generals on the state of the war.
