Trump torn on Iran war plan after attacks on US ships in Strait of Hormuz – WSJPresident Trump is reportedly at a crossroads regarding Iran following the recent strikes on American naval vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
Sources within the administration say the President is torn. On one hand, he’s considering a diplomatic push to reign in Iran’s nuclear program; on the other, he’s weighing the need for a military response to the maritime attacks.
With pressure mounting in Washington, many fear the situation could quickly spiral.While the Pentagon has drafted plans for targeted strikes on Iranian sites and increased naval escorts for tankers, some officials believe action could be taken within the week.

Experts like Vali Nasr point out that early hopes for a quick military win have faded, noting that many within the administration are now questioning whether more bombing runs will actually solve the problem.
