WSJ: Trump Considers 'Limited Strike' on Iran

According to the Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump is considering a limited military strike on Iran, with escalation options on the table. The initial operation, if approved, could take place within days and target a limited number of military or government facilities.

If Iran does not comply with the demand to end its nuclear program, the US may proceed with an extensive campaign against regime infrastructure. The American president could follow a strategy of gradual escalation, starting with low-intensity attacks and increasing pressure.

Trump said he would decide on the next steps within the next two weeks. A White House representative declined to comment on the options being considered.

US officials emphasize that no final decision has been made on an attack, with scenarios ranging from limited-duration operations to a multi-day campaign aimed at regime change. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that Iranian forces could strike American interests if attacked.

The US is strengthening its military presence in the region, with the transfer of fighter jets and air defense systems.
