Disagreement within the Trump administration... military escalation and diplomacy compete in the approach to Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump is moving toward adopting the option of continuing strikes against Iran, amid growing doubts about the ability of negotiations to achieve a lasting peace with Tehran, considering that the available alternatives have become limited.

By contrast, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff continue to push for keeping the door to negotiations open, based on their conviction that reaching an agreement with Iran is still possible despite the complexities of the political and security landscape.
