The New York Times reported that President Trump is weighing a set of difficult options for resolving the war in Iran, a conflict the paper described as deeply unpopular. The article, the Times report on the options Trump is weighing, was written by David E. Sanger and Eric Schmitt.
The Times said there were "no good choices" for Trump as he tries to find a way out of the conflict, but that choices nonetheless remain. The paper's summary presents the situation as a search for a path out rather than a single decision.
The headline of the article, as published by the Times, describes the options as difficult and frames them as steps toward resolving the war. The summary does not list the specific options under consideration, their costs or timing, or the officials involved in weighing them. This report does not supply those details, and readers seeking them should consult the full article.
Neither the headline nor the summary attributes the options to any named official. The material available to this report does not say whether the options are being weighed publicly or privately, and this report does not assume either.
This account is limited to the headline, byline and summary of the Times article, which are the only source material used here. Within those limits, the Times characterized the war as deeply unpopular and the president's choices as hard but not absent.
