The "war" (that isn't a war, otherwise would have required Congressional approval) is going on two months old. The war that would be quick, and cause very little disruption to the economy. Well, those Felonious predictions were -predictably- wrong.

Rubio says the war is over.

Iran live updates: Rubio says operation Epic Fury is over

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters at the White House that operation Epic Fury is now over, saying the U.S. is now involved in a "defensive" operation as it seeks to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

"If they pose a threat to our forces, we'll shoot down drones, we'll shoot down missiles. But it's defensive in nature," Rubio said.

Rubio announces new UNSC draft resolution to 'defend freedom of navigation' in Strait of Hormuz

Does that "freedom of navigation" resolution include "freedom" for Iranian ships and Iranian customers? Or will Trump the Conqueror continue his blockade, which would force Iran to respond in kind?

Intent seems clear: no more offensive actions. Just a continued blockade of the Strait. Forcing countries to come to the US looking for oil.
