Some of Trump's advisers and several outside allies have been in the president's ear urging him to clearly communicate the administration's plans to end the war quickly and decisively, and to declare that the military has successfully achieved many of its stated objectives, sources familiar with the talks tell me A key throughline in the messaging has been for officials to clearly articulate that this is not 2003, and that the Trump administration has no plans for the nation building attempted in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, they said.

Asked what role the US will play in the aftermath of strikes on Iran, or whether US will leave Iran to sort it out, Hegseth said: "Ultimately, the aftermath is going to be in America's interests -- our interests. "We won't live under a nuclear blackmail scenario of conventional missiles that can target our people, which is why the objectives have been scoped from the beginning: missiles, missile production, defense industrial base, navy. All in service of ensuring they don't have nuclear power projection capabilities," @SecWar said.
