Trump Considers New Military Options Against Iran Amid Stalled Talks

U.S. media outlets report that former President Donald Trump is considering new military options against Iran in an effort to break the deadlock in ongoing negotiations. According to Axios, the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has developed a plan for a “short but powerful” wave of strikes that could target Iranian infrastructure. The report also indicates that an additional proposal under review focuses on controlling parts of the Strait of Hormuz, with the stated aim of ensuring the free flow of commercial shipping. A source familiar with the matter noted that any potential operation could involve the deployment of ground forces. Trump has previously emphasized continuing a maritime blockade, a move expected to increase pressure on Iran. These developments come as negotiations between the United States and Iran remain at an impasse, with no clear signs of progress.
