President Donald J. Trump has been briefed in recent days on a range of potential strike options against Iran, developed jointly by the White House and the Pentagon, according to U.S. officials speaking to *The Wall Street Journal*. One option under consideration is a major plan involving large-scale strikes on Iranian government sites and facilities linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), likely carried out by both U.S. Air Force and Navy assets. Other, more limited options include targeting symbolic regime locations, with the possibility of escalating the campaign if Iran refuses to halt its nuclear activities. Additional measures being weighed include cyberattacks on Iranian financial institutions or the imposition of tougher sanctions on the Iranian government. image
