WASHINGTON D.C. – President Donald Trump today clarified the U.S. and Israel's ongoing conflict with Iran will conclude either "very, very soon, probably by Tuesday" or, alternatively, "could go on for a thousand years, who knows?" The announcement, delivered during an impromptu press conference in the Oval Office, was praised by analysts for its comprehensive approach to geopolitical forecasting.

"We have so many great options, the best options," Trump stated, gesturing broadly. "We could end it, like, tomorrow. Or we could keep going, and it would be a tremendous war, a beautiful war, if we had to. Nobody knows more about war endings, or war continuations, than me. Believe me."

White House Press Secretary, Bethany P. Renson, later issued a statement further elaborating on the President's remarks. "The President's strategic ambiguity is a masterclass in deterrence," Renson explained. "By simultaneously promising immediate cessation and indefinite engagement, he keeps all parties guessing, which is precisely where we want them. It’s like a chess game, but with more bombs and fewer clear rules."

Experts are now scrambling to interpret the administration's latest foreign policy directive. Dr. Evelyn Reed, a geopolitical strategist at the Institute for Perpetual Conflict Studies, noted, "It's certainly a novel approach. It allows for both a swift victory narrative and a prolonged, existential struggle narrative, depending entirely on the eventual outcome. It’s incredibly efficient from a messaging perspective."

Meanwhile, regional allies are reportedly preparing for both a surprise peace treaty signing and a sudden, significant escalation of hostilities, just to be safe.
