Washington and the First Strike on Iran; Initial Limited Military Attack.
U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that he is seriously considering a limited military strike against Iran—a stance that could escalate tensions between the two countries to a new level.
Responding to reporters at the White House about the possibility of using military force to compel Tehran to accept a new nuclear agreement, Trump emphasized that the option is under review but declined to provide further details.
The Wall Street Journal, in an exclusive report, revealed that the White House is evaluating a scenario for a “limited and initial” strike. According to informed sources cited by the paper, if approved, the attack could take place within a few days and target several military or governmental sites in Iran. The report suggests that the primary objective of this action is to exert immediate pressure on Tehran to change its calculations regarding the nuclear program.
The newspaper further notes that if Iran refuses Washington’s request to halt uranium enrichment, a step-by-step escalation of operations is also being considered. Under this scenario, a limited strike could expand into a broader campaign against government infrastructure an approach some sources describe as a tool to compel Tehran to make significant concessions on its nuclear program.
