Trump mulls broader Iran air campaign
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is studying options to expand military operations against Iran amid escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran. The focus is on a plan to intensify airstrikes for a period ranging from 10 to 14 days against Iranian targets, including command centers, missile facilities, and drone bases belonging to the Revolutionary Guards. These strikes aim to weaken Iran's missile capabilities and reduce its attacks on American forces and shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, after limited strikes failed to halt Iranian assaults. Inside the U.S. administration, there are two main options being discussed: an extensive air campaign or limited strikes, with a major disagreement over the extent of military escalation and the associated costs. Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran are ongoing, mediated by Pakistan, to contain the escalation. The United States has already carried out strikes against Revolutionary Guards targets in response to Iranian ballistic missile launch attempts, as military tensions and diplomatic initiatives continue in an effort to de-escalate the situation.
