Trump asks staff for Iran military options

President Donald Trump has asked his national security staff for options regarding potential future military operations against Iran, according to US officials speaking to the Wall Street Journal. The request indicates the administration is formally reviewing military contingencies as diplomatic pressure continues. However, the officials emphasized that Trump remains personally reluctant to authorize military action and is focused on exhausting all other options first. This development comes amid a short-term ceasefire extension and ongoing, fragile negotiations with Tehran.
