  • US Officials: Pentagon Prepares for 'Decisive Battle' Against Iran

    According to US media outlet AXIOS, two American officials and two knowledgeable sources revealed that the Department of Defense is developing military plans for a 'lethal strike' against Iran, which may include the use of ground troops and large-scale bombing operations. Officials familiar with internal discussions described four main 'lethal strike' options that Trump could choose from: 1) Invading or blockading Khark Island. 2) Invading Larak Island, which helps Iran strengthen its control over the Strait of Hormuz. 3) Occupying strategically significant Abu Musa Island and two smaller islands located near the western entrance of the Strait. 4) Intercepting or seizing Iranian oil tankers at the eastern exit of the Strait of Hormuz. The US military is also preparing plans for ground operations deep into Iranian territory, aimed at controlling enriched uranium buried within nuclear facilities. To avoid executing such complex and high-risk operations, the US may opt for large-scale airstrikes on these facilities to prevent Iran from acquiring these materials. Trump has not yet decided whether to execute any of the aforementioned options, but sources say he is prepared to escalate the situation if negotiations with Iran do not yield substantial results soon.
