Foreign media said that the current Trump has three options, but for the United States, they are all difficult choices! The three options for Trump are:
Option 1: Declare victory and withdraw.
This means the United States will forever lose the Middle East, and Israel's days are numbered.
Option 2: Ground forces and likely massive casualties. The result is that everyone knows the United States cannot occupy a country with 90 million residents. Iran's terrain is characterized by a high, rugged, and arid central plateau, completely surrounded by large mountain ranges.
Option 3: Let Iran undergo internal regime change.
This is a complete failure, unless he somehow becomes lucky and manages to win in Iran's internal revolution, which is now unlikely.
Evidently, from the three options presented by foreign media to Trump and the possible consequences, what does this indicate? It only indicates one thing: foreign media also realize that the United States can't achieve its goals in Iran. To immediately withdraw is against America's will; sending ground forces would lead to heavy casualties; relying on an internal change in Iran, even foreign media themselves think it's impossible.
Factually, even more astonishing is that foreign media have automatically skipped the option of increasing air strikes to force Iran to submit. Why isn't this an option? Because there has never been a case where a regime was overthrown solely through air strikes, and Iran's counterattack has actually caused some trouble for the United States. In short, the United States is now in a difficult position, and for the United States, there is no perfect solution.
