US President Trump Seeks Exit Strategy from War with Iran

After weeks of aggressive rhetoric over a massive military campaign against Iran in the Middle East, US President Donald Trump now appears to be looking for ways out of a war that has proved far more difficult to end than he expected. Now President Trump may be willing to set aside the nuclear issue with Iran and declare victory in a war if Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz to fully free navigation. According to The Wall Street Journal, President Donald Trump has lobbied for weeks for such a possible outcome and privately told his senior aides that he could end the war without a nuclear deal with Tehran, but his possible exit strategy has also been difficult to meet, as Iran has put forward a long list of demands for the complete opening of the Strait of Hormuz, vital for global energy supplies. In fact, Tehran has put an end to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the withdrawal of American troops, and a list of Arab territories.
