Iran's armed forces announced that the conflict with the US and Israel will continue "until the enemy's complete surrender", directly opposing Trump's claim that the situation could end in two to three weeks.

According to Iran's semi-official news agency Tasnim, a military spokesperson warned of possible escalation: "The war will continue until the surrender and lasting repentance of the enemy." He added that Iran could carry out "more devastating, broader, and more powerful attacks."

The conflict, which began in late February, has seriously destabilized the entire Middle East region through strikes on military installations, critical infrastructure, and commercial vessels.

The Strait of Hormuz - a vital maritime route for global oil distribution - experienced near-total disruption of shipping traffic due to attacks and threats, which increased energy prices and caused financial market instability.
