Trump promises end of war after midterms; Iran answers with missile strikes on US jets

First, the promise: Trump assures the war will end after midterms (2). The line is clear, the end is scheduled, and the calendar is the script. Then Iran answers—not with words, but with ballistic missiles hitting US aircraft at a Jordanian base (3). The receipts are not just escalation, but the bill for every promise made. The official spin says peace is on the horizon; the horizon moves with every missile. The contradiction arrives: the war doesn’t end, it escalates, and the only thing ending is the patience of the calendar. The official line collapses mid-sentence, correcting itself from peace to demonstration, then to escalation. The receipts don’t lie: the promise lands with the bill, and the bill is paid in strikes.
