How the call settles
Active US-Iran hostilities are still ongoing more than six weeks after the war's late-February 2026 start
Our reasoning
YES on the research record because The war did not end within four to six weeks of its February 28, 2026 start. The April 8 truce was only a two-week ceasefire that was repeatedly violated; Trump announced a US blockade of Iranian shipping on April 12, the ceasefire was later described as on 'life support' amid intermittent fighting, and Trump declared it over on July 8, 2026 — hostilities were still ongoing past April 15.. Applied stored rule: Active US-Iran hostilities are still ongoing more than six weeks after the war's late-February 2026 start.
Outcome evidence
The war did not end within four to six weeks of its February 28, 2026 start. The April 8 truce was only a two-week ceasefire that was repeatedly violated; Trump announced a US blockade of Iranian shipping on April 12, the ceasefire was later described as on 'life support' amid intermittent fighting, and Trump declared it over on July 8, 2026 — hostilities were still ongoing past April 15.
