President Donald Trump and his administration are actively planning a potential renewed military campaign against Iran, according to an Axios report. The discussions reportedly include the option of seizing Kharg Island, a strategically vital Iranian oil terminal in the Persian Gulf. This planning follows the conclusion of the six-week bombing campaign Trump had previously announced, which he confirmed ended on schedule. The deliberations signal a potential escalation beyond the current naval blockade as diplomatic efforts continue.
