US embassies across the Middle East have issued security alerts as President Donald Trump vowed to strike Iran "hard," signaling a possible escalation in the conflict. Trump said the fighting is not over and that the United States will "win," while predicting Iran will "peter out" as American strikes continue. He admitted that the five-month conflict could drag on as the November midterm elections approach. Diplomatic efforts appear to be fading, with talks between the two sides losing momentum. The embassy alerts suggest Washington is bracing for retaliation or further instability in the region. Trump's comments come amid ongoing US military action against Iran, which he insists will succeed. The president gave no timeline for an end to the strikes, leaving open the possibility of a prolonged confrontation.
