"Trump press conference reveals a man who wants out of war"

It appears to have had two key objectives:

a) Calm the markets by signalling the conflict may soon be over because it has been so "successful"

b) Prepare the ground for Trump ending the war through a unilateral declaration of victory.

Though ending the war "is the right move, it won’t be as easy as Trump appears to think."

"Tehran also has a vote."

Trump press conference reveals a man who wants out of war

He may be preparing the ground for a face saving declaration of victory, but don't think Iran is going to concede that easily without something in return

One cannot help but suspect that Iran will never end this war. Suspect even more that they'll keep that Hormuz Strait closed until doomsday with endless drone attacks.

I spend too much time reading others, so prefer to repeat what my febrile imagination distils

But yes, it's over-simplification for sure.
