According to a report by the Associated Press, President Donald Trump was briefed in recent days on options for large-scale military strikes against Iran. However, he has decided, for now, to continue pursuing diplomatic negotiations.
The briefing included potential targets and scenarios for an all-out conflict, but the president ultimately chose not to escalate military action. The decision comes amid ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran over Tehran's nuclear program and regional activities.
No specific date for the briefing was provided in the report, and the White House has not officially commented on the matter. The AP cited unnamed officials familiar with the discussions.
This development follows months of heightened rhetoric and sanctions between the two countries. Iran has continued to enrich uranium beyond limits set by the 2015 nuclear deal, which the Trump administration withdrew from in 2018.
