Why is Trump saying the Iran war is over?

In his latest twist on the Iran War, Trump is now saying that it is officially "terminated". This is, presumably, of course, to allow Trump's efforts to maintain large naval forces in the Middle East to try to influence Iran, without any congressional oversight. Trump is playing word games, as per usual. Or, is he? There probably is a quite real sense in which the war is terminated. Trump failed to eliminate the Iran regime, and, Trump also failed to prevent Iran from taking over the Strait of Hormuz, and shutting down sea traffic in the Middle East. Furthermore, he doesn't know what to do about it. So, effectively, there is no point to further military action against Iran, so, the Iran war is over. Of course, the situation might change, and, in any case, Trump would like to be able to pressure Iran, somehow, although he isn't quite sure how to do it. So, really, the reality of the situation is that the US has lost the war, which Trump will never say, of course, but, Trump is still hoping to win another future war against Iran, which, however, the US public appears extremely disinclined to support. And, this puts Trump in a very awkward position politically, which might result in his political demise, and the loss of his freedom, perhaps as soon as next year. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/us--iran-congress-040412863.html
