JAKARTA - A number of advisers to US President Donald Trump have urged the US number one to find a quick way out of the conflict with Iran by saying that his goal has been achieved.

The statement was made by The Wall Street Journal, citing sources familiar with the matter on Monday (9/3), amid a sharp rise in oil prices and concerns that a prolonged conflict could trigger political reactions.

On Monday, Trump also promised the US military operation against Iran would be completed soon.

A number of Trump administration officials told The Wall Street Journal that as long as Tehran continues to attack countries in the Middle East and Israel remains ready to attack Iranian targets, it is unlikely that the US will come out of the conflict easily.

An official said the US president would not stop the fighting until he achieved a satisfactory victory. The official also added that Trump was often surprised by Iran's unwillingness to accommodate US and Israeli demands under military pressure.

On February 28, the US and Israel launched an attack on targets in Iran, including in Tehran, which caused damage and civilian casualties.

Iran then retaliated by attacking Israeli territory and US military facilities in the Middle East as a form of self-defense.
