Trump's Iran Strategy: Quick Exit or Losing Leverage?
As President Trump weighs his options for ending the military campaign against Iran, the endgame remains unclear - a quick exit could mean losing leverage over the future.
President Trump is facing a critical decision on how to handle the escalating tensions with Iran. While he has not explicitly laid out his desired endgame, two opposing paths have emerged - a quick exit from the military campaign or maintaining leverage over what comes next.
On one hand, Trump may be tempted to bring a swift end to the military engagement, allowing him to fulfill his campaign promise of withdrawing from foreign conflicts. This could score him political points with his base and avoid a prolonged conflict. However, prematurely ending the military operations risks losing the leverage the U.S. has gained through its show of force.
