Trump Caught Between Iran Deal and ‘Forever War’

Donald Trump has once again declared the war with Iran is over, claiming a deal is ready for signing. Tehran has confirmed reports of a preliminary agreement, but it remains unclear if the claims are true. “He risks sliding into a ‘forever war,’” says Adam Hjorthén, a U.S. expert, referring to Trump’s position between two opposing groups. The term “forever war” describes a prolonged conflict with no clear end, often dragging on for years without resolution. The situation leaves Trump politically squeezed, as he must navigate between those pushing for a swift peace and those demanding continued military action. No final details of any agreement have been released, and skepticism remains high on both sides.
