President Donald Trump announced on Nov 9 that the war in Iran 'militarily is effectively over,' declaring the conflict resolved during a surprise White House briefing.

Additional military action in Iran is 'quite unlikely,' Trump stated, though the United States will remain 'locked and loaded' if necessary.
Trump added that Iran has been 'decapitated' but said he is seeking a long-term solution to ensure Iran's nuclear program is defanged.
Diplomatic channels remain open as representatives from Iran are talking 'very politely' while maintaining the status quo at neighboring countries' behest.
The U.S. president added on his network Truth Social that if a resurgence of strikes against Iran was "unlikely," the U.S. remained "ready to intervene."
