New York Times reported today: "If the final nuclear talks in Geneva fail, Trump is considering targeted strikes against Iran. If the initial strike fails to force Iran to abandon its nuclear program, he may launch a larger military operation later this year, aimed at overthrowing the country's leadership. Potential targets include the Revolutionary Guard headquarters, nuclear facilities, and missile launch sites."
Comments: The so-called final negotiations seem more like a reason for the US to justify a military attack. Trump's plan is clear: low-cost air strikes, high political gains, both fulfilling his tough promises and avoiding the quagmire of ground warfare; however, Iran will not sit idle, and the Middle East could be plunged into a chain of retaliation at any moment, with the Red Sea shipping routes, oil channels, and US military bases all becoming targets.
