AI Summary:
President Trump announced on social media on Friday that he is considering “winding down” military operations in Iran. As the U.S.-Israeli airstrike campaign got underway last month, the Trump administration said it aspired to create conditions for regime change in Tehran. But as Americans look at gasoline selling for around $4 a gallon, it was no surprise that Mr. Trump sought to reassure Americans that the United States was “very close” to meeting its objectives. "If asked, we will help these Countries in their Hormuz efforts, but it shouldn’t be necessary once Iran’s threat is eradicated," he said. The statement no longer mentioned supporting regime change through a popular uprising. He said the United States would help, but is leaving it to Europe, Japan, South Korea and China. Diary of War: In an online journal, the 44-year-old son of Iran’s president offers a mix of personal anecdotes and glimpses behind the scenes as Iranian leaders are picked off one after another. As the Iranian new year begins, those in the country are reckoning with bombardment, repression and economic misery. And the holiday has brought complicated feelings for some Iranians in New York who are fearful for their relatives in Iran.
