Trump's aides urging him in private to devise exit plan from Iran war
A number of US President Donald Trump's advisers are privately calling on him to publicly express an exit plan from the large-scale and unprovoked military aggression that it is waging alongside Israel against Iran.
The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter, reported that the advisers want him to assert that Washington has achieved much of its objectives in the Iran war.
The report added that some of Trump's aides have also cautioned him that a prolonged military confrontation will erode his support even if Republicans largely support his anti-Iran strikes for the time being.
The WSJ noted that the concerned advisers have fielded calls from Republicans who have expressed dismay about the fallout of the unlawful attacks for the forthcoming midterm elections.
The American daily highlighted that the advisers determined that they required a more ambitious and aggressive public messaging plan to rally support amid surging gas prices at pumping stations.
According to public opinion polls, a majority of Americans oppose the Iran war, with responses largely falling along party lines.
The United States and Israel launched a war of aggression against Iran on February 28, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and high-ranking military commanders, amid indirect Tehran-Washington negotiations on Iran's peaceful nuclear program.
Iranian Armed Forces, within the framework of their legitimate response, immediately launched forceful missile and drone strikes against US interests in the region and Israeli assets in the occupied territories.
Following the martyrdom of Ayatollah Khamenei who led Iran for 37 years since the 1989 demise of the founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini, the Assembly of Experts elected his son, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, as the third Leader of the Islamic Revolution.
