Trump Weighing Options for Expanding Military Operations in Iran: Report
Officials said the options include strikes on energy sites and Kharg Island as U.S. forces seek to weaken Iran’s control of the waterway.
- President Donald Trump is weighing an operation to take Kharg Island, a critical Iranian export hub, and to bomb underground complexes at Pickaxe Mountain believed connected to Iran's nuclear program.
- Over the past five days, the U.S. has carried out daily strikes on Iranian positions along the Strait of Hormuz, including Wednesday on Greater Tunb Island, which served as an Iranian military base.
- Speaking in a three-hour interview with Joe Rogan on Tuesday, Vice President JD Vance said the war will not be won through military force alone. "So youve got to actually be willing to talk and to try to figure out the problem," he said.
- "Well find out whether or not we settle with them, or we just finish it off," Trump said Wednesday at a defense industry event in Pennsylvania, marking a shift from his claim a week ago that talks were a "waste of time."
- Trump has grown frustrated that Iran is not capitulating on his nuclear red lines and continues to restrict traffic through the Strait, according to officials. He suggested a ground operation to take Kharg may fall to another country.
