US-Israel war with Iran reaches six-month mark despite Trump’s initial timeline
A US-Israel conflict with Iran has lasted six months, far longer than Trump initially predicted it would take.
The US-Israel war against Iran has reached a six-month milestone, significantly exceeding Trump's earlier assurances that the conflict would be a brief "little excursion" lasting only weeks. A foreign policy expert has called for New Zealand to reset its approach as the conflict continues. Six months in, the global economy has felt effects across all corners despite initial dire predictions not fully materialising.
