Donald Trump’s ever-shifting timeline for ending the war in Iran is placed firmly under the microscope in a new montage released Tuesday.
The supercut, produced by the conservative-led nonprofit Home of the Brave in partnership with progressive veterans group VoteVets, highlights just some of the many times Trump has suggested the conflict he controversially launched in February will soon be over.

The groups also launched an online calendar tracker, AboutTwoWeeks.com, which documents the dozens of times Trump has promised an imminent end to the conflict.

“The president’s repeated promises to end the war in ‘about two weeks’ are falsehoods intended to hide the fact that he has no plan and no cards left to play,” said Sarah Matthews, spokesperson for Home of the Brave and White House deputy press secretary during Trump’s first term who has now become a vocal critic of her onetime boss.
“We won’t stop calling out this insult to America’s heroes, because they signed up to give their best to this country, and Trump is giving them his worst in return,” Matthews added in a statement to JS.
On the Home of the Brave’s Substack, the group noted how “Trump promised to be the president of ‘no more wars,’ and vowed repeatedly to keep America out of military quagmires on foreign shores.”
“Once in office, he started his illegal war with Iran without seeking Congressional approval, and without even attempting to make a cogent case for military action to the American public,” it added.
The campaign seeks to “mobilize veterans and pro-democracy Americans in opposition to this administration’s disastrous foreign and military policies” ahead of the 2026 midterm elections in November, the groups said.
Trump has frequently claimed the war is effectively over, but on Monday admitted it’s still ongoing, saying, “We’re going to win that war very soon.”
