Trump advisers push for Iran de-escalation
Reuters has revealed that senior advisors within the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump are exerting pressure to de-escalate the war with Iran ahead of the upcoming midterm elections in November. Their aim is to minimize potential losses for the Republican Party. Officials are working to prevent escalating conflict from dominating the electoral landscape, focusing instead on increasing economic pressure on Tehran—especially after military operations failed to achieve their desired objectives. Despite ongoing exchange of strikes between the two sides, the Trump administration is pursuing a strategy of restraint, maintaining limited bombing campaigns. Public support for the war has eroded significantly, with approval dropping by up to 31% and opposition reaching 63%, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. Officials clarified that the goal is to protect the political front and the military, warning that continued war could weaken the readiness of U.S. forces.
