PATRICK LAWRENCE: Only One Way Out for Trump

Consortium News
Core Argument:
Donald Trump faces an inescapable dilemma in the war with Iran due to depleted U.S. military munitions (such as Patriot interceptor stockpiles), shrinking Strategic Petroleum Reserves, and Iran's total refusal to negotiate with his administration. Unable to escalate further or secure a diplomatic breakthrough, Trump's only viable option to prevent widespread economic fallout and severe political damage at home is to end the campaign and accept a de facto defeat framed as a
"peace with honor"
resolution, even if doing so causes a rift with Israel.
