US media: Trump will be briefed on new plans for action against Iran on Thursday, including a strong strike and partial control of the Strait of Hormuz.
CoinFeed reported on April 30th that, according to Jinshi, two sources familiar with the matter stated that Trump plans to be briefed on Thursday by U.S. Central Command Commander Brad Cooper regarding new plans for potential military action against Iran. This briefing indicates that Trump is seriously considering resuming large-scale military operations to break the deadlock in negotiations or deliver a decisive blow before ending the war. Three sources said that Central Command has prepared a plan for a “short but powerful” strike against Iran, potentially including targets targeting infrastructure. The expectation is that Iran will subsequently show greater flexibility on the nuclear issue and return to the negotiating table. Another plan expected to be presented to Trump is controlling a portion of the Strait of Hormuz to restore commercial shipping traffic. One source said such an operation could involve ground troops.
