Trump Team Split on Iran
The *Wall Street Journal* has revealed a split within Donald Trump’s administration over Iran: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper favor resuming military operations, while JD Vance and envoy Steve Witkoff are pushing for diplomacy. Marco Rubio and Scott Bessent are calling for tougher sanctions and a continued blockade. Qatar is seeking to avert a new escalation and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. A proposal under discussion would shorten preliminary talks from 60 days to two, paving the way for nuclear negotiations, though it is unclear whether Iran would accept it. Trump has not made a decision; the U.S. military is ready for options that could begin later this month, while the aircraft carrier *Theodore Roosevelt* is expected to reach the Middle East in at least two weeks.
