President Trump is scheduled to receive a briefing on potential "short and powerful" military strikes targeting Iran's infrastructure.
Proposed options include seizing a segment of the Strait of Hormuz to resume commercial shipping and a special forces operation to secure Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpile.
These proposals emerged three weeks into a fragile ceasefire in the ongoing Iran War, which began on February 28 with initial attacks by the U.S. and Israel against Iran.
The conflict has resulted in thousands of fatalities, displaced millions, disrupted global markets, and significantly increased oil prices.
The administration reportedly hopes these aggressive measures will compel Iran into nuclear negotiations, despite domestic opposition and warnings from international law experts about potential war crimes.
