Trump under pressure over Iran war, confusion and criticism increasing.

➡ US magazine The Atlantic has claimed that US President Donald Trump's war against Iran is slowly moving towards an "uncomfortable and humiliating defeat" due to a lack of clear and coordinated strategy.

Concern and frustration have also grown among Trump's close allies and political supporters regarding the economic and military consequences of the war.

➡️ Many supporters fear that a long-term conflict could put significant pressure on the US economy and global standing.

➡️ Even the White House itself is currently in deep confusion.

Within the administration, there is a conflict between continuing a costly long-term war on one hand, and accepting a compromise that might seem politically humiliating on the other.

In short, there is still no clear consensus within the US regarding the war's goals, strategy, and potential end.
