Donald Trump may escalate the Iran war by sending ground troops to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and deploying special operations forces to seize the nuclear materials the regime needs to build a bomb.
The President’s top military advisers are set to brief him on new options for military action designed to force Iran back to the negotiating table and end the war.
CENTCOM’s secret plans include using ‘short and powerful’ strikes on Iranian infrastructure to force Tehran to show more flexibility on ending its nuclear program, according to Axios.
One plan Trump is expected to review calls for reopening commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz with US ground troops. The strait, which transits one-fifth of all global oil shipping, has been stalled for months.
Another strategy the President will hear involves using special forces to enter Iran and recover its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. During prior negotiations, the regime refused to hand over the nuclear material to the US.
After peace talks stalled earlier this month, Trump imposed a naval blockade on all Iranian ports in the Gulf.
