Why he wants it to end quickly
Reports say several factors are pushing the White House toward a fast end:
Risk of the war expanding in the Middle East
Rising oil prices and economic impact
Political pressure in the U.S. ahead of elections
Concern about U.S. casualties if fighting drags on (The Wall Street Journal)
Reality on the ground
Even if Trump wants a quick end, analysts say:
Iran also has to agree to a deal, which hasn’t happened yet.
Some military leaders prefer continuing operations to weaken Iran further.
Regional tensions (shipping, allies, militias) make the conflict hard to wrap up quickly. (The Wall Street Journal)
