Trump's Iran Dilemma: Exit Strategy or Regime Change?
"אסטרטגיית יציאה" או שחיקת המשטר: הדילמה של טראמפ - והלו"ז המשתנה
Summary
According to NBC, US military officials presented Trump with potential "exit points" to end the war against Iran alongside options for further escalation. Trump assessed that "the war probably won't end this week, but soon," as competing pressures — rising oil prices versus the desire for regime change — pull his administration in different directions. A shifting timetable, described as one that "could change every day," reflects the deep uncertainty over US strategic objectives in the conflict.
