Trump Weighs New Options Against Tehran

Donald Trump is considering restarting military strikes on Iran shortly after the midterm elections to Congress, scheduled for November 3. The Atlantic magazine reported this, citing advisers close to the US president.

According to the outlet, Trump has spent recent weeks reviewing possible next steps toward Tehran. These options reportedly include fresh military action meant to push Iran back to the negotiating table. No final call has been made yet.

Pentagon Leaders Discussed Several Scenarios

The magazine notes that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth took part in talks last week. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Dan Caine and Central Command chief Admiral Brad Cooper also joined the discussion. They reviewed several possible paths forward on Iran.

The options on the table range widely. They include strikes lasting anywhere from a few hours to several weeks. Keeping the US naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz is another option being studied. Continued diplomatic pressure on Tehran, without new fighting, remains on the list too.

One Scenario Targets Iran’s Nuclear Program

One plan under review involves a multi day operation aimed at Iran’s nuclear program. A longer campaign could go further still. It might strike air defense sites and infrastructure used by Iran’s armed forces.

Vance Sent a Letter Proposing Direct Talks

The Atlantic also reports that US Vice President JD Vance sent a letter to Mohsen Rezaei. Rezaei serves as secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. The letter proposed restarting direct negotiations between the two sides.

The letter stressed that Iran’s nuclear program needs to be on the table from the very start of any talks. This point was highlighted as a key condition for moving forward.

Mediators who delivered the letter suggested holding a meeting this week. That timing lines up closely with when Trump is expected to decide on further military action.
