WASHINGTON, DEC. 1: Tensions are expected to escalate once again in the Middle East. Amid escalating tensions, US Central Command (CENTCOM) has given US President Donald Trump a detailed briefing on options for a final strike against Iran. The briefing clearly shows that Washington is now in the mood to ramp up military pressure with diplomacy. According to officials, this 45-minute briefing discusses in detail new and aggressive plans for possible military action against Iran. US military planners are also prepared for the possibility that Iran could retaliate against US forces in the region if the US imposes a blockade or strikes. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Cain, was present at the high-level briefing, indicating that the US is seriously considering a large-scale military action. According to reports, CENTCOM has presented Trump with a strategy of quick and specific strikes in the short and sharp terms, with the goal of forcing Iran to return to the negotiating table while softening its infrastructure and pressuring the president on Iran's nuclear ambitions.
