Svmuu reported that two sources said Trump plans to receive a briefing from CENTCOM Commander General Brad Cooper on Thursday regarding new plans for potential military action against Iran. The briefing suggests Trump is seriously considering resuming large-scale combat operations to break the negotiation deadlock or deliver a decisive blow before ending the war. Three sources said CENTCOM has prepared a plan for "short and powerful" strikes against Iran, potentially targeting infrastructure. The expectation is that Iran will then show greater flexibility on the nuclear issue and return to the negotiating table. Another plan expected to be presented to Trump involves controlling parts of the Strait of Hormuz to restore commercial shipping passage. A source said such actions could include ground forces. Another option previously discussed and possibly raised in the briefing is conducting special forces operations to secure control of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile. Cooper previously briefed Trump on similar matters on February 26, two days before the US and Israel launched a war against Iran. A person close to Trump said it was that briefing that led to Trump's decision to go to war. (Jin Shi)
