How the call settles
US/Israeli combat operations against Iran are still ongoing (no ceasefire or end of hostilities in force) two weeks after April 2, 2026

Applied stored rule: US/Israeli combat operations against Iran are still ongoing (no ceasefire or end of hostilities in force) two weeks after April 2, 2026.
Outcome evidence
Two weeks after April 2, 2026 a ceasefire was in force, not ongoing combat: the US-Iran truce took effect April 8, 2026, US strikes on Iran halted, the two-week pause was reported as largely holding through mid-April despite violations, and Trump extended it indefinitely on April 21, 2026. | RE-ADJUDICATED YES (ceasefire-rule review 2026-08-08): Rule 2: squarely a war-duration claim graded NO only because a ceasefire was in force on April 16; the ceasefire collapsed July 8 and the war was never over, so the claim came true.
