A debate<\/span> has erupted<\/span> within<\/span> US<\/span> President<\/span> Donald<\/span> Trump’s<\/span> team<\/span> over<\/span> when<\/span> and<\/span> how<\/span> to<\/span> declare<\/span> victory<\/span> in<\/span> the conflict<\/span> with<\/span> Iran.<\/span> Some<\/span> advisers<\/span> suggest<\/span> concluding<\/span> the operation<\/span> in the near<\/span> future,<\/span> while<\/span> others<\/span> insist<\/span> on<\/span> continued<\/span> pressure<\/span> on<\/span> Tehran.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Reuters<\/span><\/a> reports<\/span> this<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According<\/span> to<\/span> the agency,<\/span> economic<\/span> advisers<\/span> and<\/span> administration<\/span> officials<\/span> are warning<\/span> Trump<\/span> about<\/span> the consequences of<\/span> a sharp<\/span> increase<\/span> in<\/span> gasoline<\/span> prices<\/span> after<\/span> the US-<\/span> Israeli<\/span> attacks<\/span> on<\/span> Iran.<\/span> They<\/span> believe<\/span> that<\/span> the increase<\/span> in fuel<\/span> prices could<\/span> quickly<\/span> affect<\/span> public<\/span> support<\/span> for<\/span> the operation.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In recent<\/span> days,<\/span> Trump<\/span> has begun<\/span> to speak<\/span> of<\/span> the conflict<\/span> as<\/span> a limited<\/span> campaign<\/span> ,<\/span> a significant<\/span> portion<\/span> of whose<\/span> objectives<\/span> have already<\/span> been achieved.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Representatives<\/span> of the economic<\/span> bloc,<\/span> in particular<\/span> from<\/span> the Ministry of<\/span> Finance<\/span> and<\/span> the National<\/span> Economic<\/span> Council,<\/span> also<\/span> warned<\/span> the White<\/span> House<\/span> about<\/span> the risk<\/span> of an oil<\/span> crisis<\/span> and<\/span> further<\/span> increases<\/span> in<\/span> fuel prices<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The president’s political<\/span> advisers<\/span> also<\/span> take<\/span> a similar<\/span> position<\/span> .<\/span> White<\/span> House<\/span> Chief<\/span> of Staff<\/span> Susie<\/span> Wiles<\/span> and<\/span> her<\/span> deputy<\/span> James<\/span> Blair<\/span> emphasize<\/span> the<\/span> political<\/span> risks<\/span> and<\/span> suggest<\/span> clearly<\/span> defining<\/span> what<\/span> constitutes<\/span> a<\/span> victory,<\/span> as<\/span> well as<\/span> making<\/span> it clear<\/span> that<\/span> the operation<\/span> is coming to<\/span> an end.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Instead,<\/span> hardliners<\/span> oppose<\/span> a<\/span> quick<\/span> end<\/span> to<\/span> the campaign<\/span> .<\/span> Senators<\/span> Lindsey<\/span> Graham<\/span> and<\/span> Tom<\/span> Cotton<\/span> call for<\/span> continued<\/span> military<\/span> pressure<\/span> to<\/span> prevent<\/span> Iran<\/span> from<\/span> obtaining<\/span> a nuclear<\/span> weapon.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Separate<\/span> pressure<\/span> is being exerted<\/span> on<\/span> the White<\/span> House<\/span> by<\/span> representatives<\/span> of the populist<\/span> wing<\/span> of Trump supporters<\/span> ,<\/span> including<\/span> strategist<\/span> Steve<\/span> Bannon<\/span> and<\/span> TV host<\/span> Tucker<\/span> Carlson,<\/span> who<\/span> are warning<\/span> the president<\/span> against<\/span> dragging<\/span> the United States<\/span> into<\/span> a new<\/span> protracted<\/span> conflict<\/span> in<\/span> the Middle<\/span> East.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Administration<\/span> sources<\/span> say<\/span> Trump<\/span> is<\/span> trying<\/span> to balance<\/span> these<\/span> positions<\/span> .<\/span> In recent<\/span> days<\/span> ,<\/span> his<\/span> team<\/span> has<\/span> also<\/span> been<\/span> actively<\/span> working<\/span> to<\/span> calm<\/span> markets<\/span> and<\/span> contain<\/span> rising<\/span> oil<\/span> and<\/span> gas<\/span> prices<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

As a reminder, the Hezbollah group fired rockets at northern Israel on the night of March 2.<\/a> In response, the Israel Defense Forces launched strikes on the group’s targets in Lebanon and announced the start of a ground operation.<\/p>\n

As is known, on February 28, Israel launched preemptive strikes on Iran, and also attacked Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon<\/a> .<\/p>\n
