Reuters: Trump Can Declare Victory Over Iran And End The War

U.S. intelligence and White House officials are exploring such a scenario.

US intelligence and White House officials are studying a scenario in which Donald Trump would declare victory over Iran and end the war, Reuters reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The intelligence is conducting the analysis at the request of senior US administration officials, they said, and its purpose is to predict how Iran would react to such a move a possible move by Trump.

Reuters officials assure him that the war, which has inflated oil and gasoline prices, could lead to big losses for Republicans in the upcoming midterm congressional elections.

Trump has not made a final decision on what to do with Iran next. Further escalation of military action is also possible, including more airstrikes against Iran's military political leaders, one of Reuters' sources said.

A ground invasion, the most ambitious scenario, however, is becoming less and less likely, and the political pressure on Trump to stop the war is "enormous," the source said.

According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released last week, only 26 percent of Americans believe the military campaign has justified its costs and 25 percent believe it has made the United States safer. Three sources familiar with recent White House discussions said Trump is keenly aware of the political price being paid by himself and his party.

The war between the US and Iran began on February 28. U.S. law limits the president's authority to engage in hostilities without congressional approval to 60 days. That deadline expires on May 1, The New York Times previously pointed out. The law allows only a 30-day extension for safe withdrawal of troops, but not for offensive operations.

Democrats have already tried five times to stop military action through resolutions, but Republicans have blocked them. But some Republican senators, including John Curtis and Lisa Murkowski, have made clear they would not support continuing the war beyond May 1 without congressional approval.
