'Wow!' Trump Posts Chart Boasting That His War Against Iran Has So Far Been Shorter Than WWII, Vietnam

7. Same administration also claims the Iran war has been going on for 10 months

As I mentioned elsewhere, in order to get around the fact that there was no legal justification for the war, they're telling e.g. the U.N. that the war started much earlier than Feb 28, that it's not a "new" war at all but rather a continuation of the operation that began in June of 2025. So not only has it been more than "6 weeks," the Trump administration argues here that it's been at least 10 months.

From the Conclusion section at

The operations recommenced in late February were part of an armed conflict with Iran that has been ongoing for years and, at the very least, since June 2025. Under well-established rules of international law, it is reasonable to conclude that this conflict did not end in the interim. And in an ongoing conflict, it is not necessary as a matter of international law to reassess whether an armed attack is imminent prior to every subsequent action taken against an adversary.

Two diametrically opposed positions, and neither one is the truth.
