US President Donald Trump is reportedly considering a short-term and decisive military strike against Iran to avoid protracted conflict. This was reported by sources on January 15.
“If he decides to take any action, he would like them to be the final decision,” said one of the sources.
Trump’s advisers have yet to convince him that such a strike would lead to a rapid weakening or collapse of Iranian leadership. The administration also expresses concerns about the United States’ readiness to counter an Iranian response, particularly given limited regional resources.
According to the same sources, the situation may prompt the White House to adopt a restrained initial approach involving limited military action while maintaining the possibility of further escalation. However, it is emphasized that a final decision on this issue has not been made, and developments continue dynamically.
