President Trump declared "mission accomplished" in Iran despite the ongoing conflict, drawing criticism and concern from political analysts. Experts noted that such declarations do not align with the reality of the situation, especially regarding the Strait of Hormuz and its impact on gas prices.

Trump's declaration and the continued conflict in Iran have significant implications for his approval ratings, the upcoming elections, and the economy, particularly through rising gas prices and inflation, with experts suggesting a negative trajectory for his political standing.
