Afghanistan, March 26 -- U.S. President Donald Trump wants the war with Iran to remain short and controlled, but he still lacks a clear plan for ending the conflict, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing private discussions and growing domestic pressure over war costs and energy prices.
The newspaper said Trump has told aides he wants to bring the crisis to a close within weeks, even as peace talks remain at an early stage and he balances the conflict with domestic political and economic concerns.
At the same time, Trump is said to be wavering between diplomacy and further military pressure, including the possibility of stronger strikes if no agreement is reached, while remaining cautious about deploying ground troops.
