WSJ: Trump's advisers recommend that he stop the war with Iran

In recent days, some advisers to US President Donald Trump have urged him to formulate a plan for withdrawing the US from the war and prove that the military has largely achieved its goals, amid Trump's statements about readiness to continue the conflict, writes The Wall Street Journal.

Although many of the president's conservative electorate still support the US operation in the Middle East, some presidential advisers have privately expressed fears that a longer war could undermine this support, the WSJ reports.

In addition, Trump's advisers are concerned about the jump in oil prices above $ 100 per barrel. Trump's independent economic adviser Stephen Moore explained that the rise in gasoline prices pulls everything else with it, creating serious difficulties, WSJ reports. In this regard, the Trump team came to the conclusion that more aggressive communication is needed to convince the public of the need for war amid rising fuel prices.
