Vance and Rubio privately warned Trump that Tehran could keep resisting U.S. pressure and prolong the conflict past January 2029, officials said.

  • Benchmark Brent crude futures breached $100 a barrel for the first time since July as shipping flows through the Strait of Hormuz fell to 2 million barrels per day.
  • At least one seafarer died and another is missing following maritime attacks, while Jordan reported intercepting 18 ballistic missiles fired by Iran at a USA military base with no American casualties.
  • Top White House advisers, including Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, warned President Donald Trump the conflict could extend beyond Inauguration Day in January 2029.
  • President Trump stated on Wednesday he expects the war to end "immediately after" the November midterm elections, arguing Iran is attempting to influence the vote despite cabinet warnings.
