U.S. Officials: Trump is Considering Limited Strikes Against Iran
On August 31 local time, according to U.S. sources, three American officials revealed that President Trump and his senior aides have been considering launching a limited strike in the Strait of Hormuz to prevent Iran from rebuilding its radar and missile capabilities used for attacking ships. The plan was developed by the U.S. Central Command over the past week and has the support of Defense Secretary Esper.
Reports indicate that although the plan has not yet received Trump's approval prior to the renewed clashes between the U.S. and Iran after a month, he may approve it following further escalation of the situation. One U.S. official stated that the concept behind the plan is to reduce the risk of Iranian attacks on tankers, U.S. naval vessels, and aircraft. (CCTV reporter Zhao Miao)
