【Trump's Attack Plan Is Very Large】
According to a report by The New York Times on January 29, Trump has significantly expanded the potential military attack options against Iran, and the known content includes three items: first, a surprise attack and destruction of Iran's nuclear facilities; second, targeted attacks on Iranian high-level officials to push for "regime change"; third, an attack on Iran's ballistic missile forces.
However, specific details have not been further disclosed by The New York Times, but these options go beyond the plans two weeks ago. Obviously, with the arrival of the "Lincoln" aircraft carrier and more military forces gathering in the Middle East, Trump's strike plan has become bolder with more options, but Trump is still weighing them.
If two weeks ago Trump's potential attack plan was a "punitive" attack, mainly to fulfill his promise to the demonstrators, the current attack plan is aimed at thoroughly solving the Iran issue, especially the design of "regime change," which directly exceeds previous goals.
However, looking at the current situation, although Iran is facing serious internal and external troubles, the Islamic regime system remains very stable. There has been no split within the regime, and the military forces are still firmly in the hands of Khamenei. Moreover, the Iranian regime has its own operational mechanism. Israel has directly stated that even if the US military knocks out Khamenei, the Iranian regime will automatically select a "successor," and the regime will continue to operate normally, unless the US sends a large-scale ground force into Iran.
However, Trump will definitely rule out this option, as it would put the US military into an unknown "quagmire of war."
