On April 30, two informed sources stated that Trump plans to receive a briefing on Thursday from General Brad Cooper, the commander of U.S. Central Command, regarding new plans for potential military action against Iran. This briefing indicates that Trump is seriously considering the resumption of large-scale military operations to break the negotiation deadlock or deliver a decisive blow before ending the war. Three sources revealed that Central Command has prepared a plan for a 'short and powerful' strike against Iran, which may include targeting infrastructure. The expectation is that Iran would then show greater flexibility on nuclear issues and return to the negotiating table. Another plan expected to be presented to Trump involves controlling parts of the Strait of Hormuz to restore commercial shipping passage. One source indicated that such actions could involve ground troops. Another option that has been discussed in the past and may be presented in the briefing is to conduct special operations to ensure control over Iran's highly enriched uranium reserves. Cooper had previously briefed Trump on similar matters on February 26, and two days later, the U.S. and Israel launched a war against Iran. A person close to Trump stated that that briefing led to Trump's decision to go to war.

First Refunds from 'Trump Tariffs' to Be Issued Around May 11
On April 30, a document from the U.S. International Trade Court indicated that the first refunds for tariffs imposed by the Trump administration under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act will be issued around May 11. The U.S. Supreme Court announced a ruling on February 20, stating that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the president to impose large-scale tariffs. A ruling by a U.S. International Trade Court judge on March 4 ordered Customs and Border Protection not to impose tariffs based on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act during tariff liquidation. This means that tariffs previously imposed under this law must be refunded. (Dongxin News Agency) -
