White House Prepares 'Final Strike' Options Against Iran

The White House is developing alternative military options for Iran in case negotiations fail. According to officials, the plans include a combination of ground operations and air strikes, aimed at preventing the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Four main options are being considered: invasion or blockade of Kharg Island, a military operation on Larak Island, seizure of islands near the Strait of Hormuz, and hindering Iranian oil tankers. Additionally, ground operations inside Iran to secure nuclear material are being examined, although they are considered more dangerous. Donald Trump has not made a final decision, but is ready to escalate pressure if talks fail, potentially bombing energy facilities. Tehran has warned of retaliation in the event of an attack.
