No in fact the battle of iwo jima was not yet over even when the U.S. troops were able to take Mt. Suribachi and raise the american flag they still had a lot of the island to take control of and here's another fact 3 of the 4 flag raisers eventually died after the raising of the flag on the island. hope this helps.
