US President Donald Trump appears to be seeking an exit route from the military confrontation with Iran, with the ongoing conflict proving increasingly difficult to resolve, The Wall Street Journal reported, adding that he may be prepared to set aside the nuclear issue and declare victory if Tehran fully reopens the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump has spent weeks preparing the groundwork for such an outcome and has privately told senior aides that he could withdraw without securing a formal nuclear agreement with Tehran, the report said.
