The Wall Street Journal reports that US President Donald Trump is privately discussing whether to declare war on Iran, while some officials say he also favours ending the conflict, which is described as being in its seventh month. The reporting frames the discussions as internal and not as a public decision.
Other details in the cited account focus on official perspectives on the president’s preferences rather than on any announced policy action. The Daily Mail presents the Wall Street Journal’s claims, indicating that officials describe Trump as considering multiple pathways—either escalation or ending the fighting—amid the ongoing conflict.
No specific new US or Iranian actions are described in the provided excerpts, and the reports do not identify concrete steps, timing, or a final decision by the administration.
