Although US leader Donald Trump has declared that he is ready to fight forever, some of his advisers fear that the United States will be drawn into a protracted war and are trying to persuade him to declare victory over Iran as soon as possible.

As reported, after five days of fighting, many around Trump now believe it is necessary to withdraw from the conflict. CNN sources noted that the US administration is having difficulty gaining sufficient public support on the issue.

In addition, with the stock market in turmoil, gasoline prices rising and the death toll among American troops likely to rise, some of the president's close advisers and allies are trying to persuade him to shorten the duration of hostilities and declare victory as soon as possible.

"This is a political risk," one of Trump's advisers told CNN. "Let's hope nothing really bad happens, because if it does, there will be problems."
