Tehran: The Washington Post reports that six months after the United States, in coordination with Israel, launched strikes against Iran, President Donald Trump now finds himself trapped in the very kind of endless war he once claimed he alone could avoid.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, with 78 days remaining until a pivotal midterm election that will determine whether his party retains control of Congress, the Trump administration faces a war with no clear military resolution, no diplomatic breakthrough on the horizon, and mounting economic and political costs at home.
