I will give it two more weeks, to about the end of March `26.
At that point, Trump will declare victory and retreat from Iran no differently than the US declared victory in Vietnam after retreating when they couldn't win that war after 18 years, no differently than the US declared victory in Afghanistan and retreated from there as well when they couldn't win that war either after 17 years.
That is standard modus operandi for the US Military, retreat, but then call yourself victorious after the fact, because the US always bills itself as the "winner" no matter how badly it got it's asss kicked by it's foreign adversary.

@swirlie Yeah, tRump can declare victory any time he wants, but he can't single-handedly make the oil flow again. As long as Iran keeps laying a few mines in the Strait of Hormuz and firing a few drones at tankers, oil prices won't get back to "normal" and tRump will still be held responsible for high gas prices.
