With Iran war exit elusive, Trump aides vie to affect outcome - World

President Donald Trump is facing internal pressure within the White House regarding his approach to the Iran war. Some officials and advisors, including those from the Treasury Department and National Economic Council, warn of potential political backlash due to rising gasoline prices. However, hawks in the administration, such as Senators Lindsey Graham and Tom Cotton, are urging Trump to maintain military pressure on Iran. Trump has shifted his messaging, emphasizing a limited campaign with mostly achieved objectives, but his public statements remain unclear. The White House is navigating competing narratives regarding the war's trajectory and its impact on domestic politics, while also attempting to appease markets and contain oil price hikes.
