How the call settles

Major US strike operations against Iran cease within roughly two to three weeks of April 3, 2026 (i.e., by ~end of April 2026) rather than continuing for months

Our reasoning

NO on the research record because US strike operations against Iran did not cease within two to three weeks of April 3, 2026: the April 8 ceasefire broke down, the US imposed a naval blockade after failed April 12-13 talks, strikes resumed May 7, the June 17 MOU collapsed and Trump declared the deal 'over' on July 8 before a second major strike round hitting 90 targets - months, not a couple of weeks.. Applied stored rule: Major US strike operations against Iran cease within roughly two to three weeks of April 3, 2026 (i.e., by ~end of April 2026) rather than continuing for months.

Outcome evidence

US strike operations against Iran did not cease within two to three weeks of April 3, 2026: the April 8 ceasefire broke down, the US imposed a naval blockade after failed April 12-13 talks, strikes resumed May 7, the June 17 MOU collapsed and Trump declared the deal 'over' on July 8 before a second major strike round hitting 90 targets - months, not a couple of weeks.
