In the latest turn of events, top U.S. military brass, including Admiral Brad Cooper, the head of Central Command, will inform President Donald Trump on Thursday of possible military action against Iran.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, and U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will also participate in the briefing, according to a Newsmax story.
The high-level briefing from CENTCOM Commander Adm. Cooper outlined options that include a “short and powerful” wave of strikes targeting Iranian infrastructure, Axios reported.
For conservatives, the approach of the Trump administration reflects a return to strength-first foreign policy — mixing economic pressure with viable military options to curb adversaries.
Still, some critics warn of escalation, while Trump supporters contend that decisive leadership is necessary to confront regimes that defy international norms.
With Thursday’s briefing, Trump faces a crucial moment: Whether to increase military pressure or double down on economic leverage.

Either way, the message from Washington is clear — Iran will not be permitted to develop a nuclear weapon, and the United States is prepared to act to ensure it.
The briefing shows how seriously the administration is considering next steps after months of economic pressure and naval maneuvering in the region.
One option under consideration means taking control of portions of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for world oil shipments, to ensure commercial shipping can resume safely.
Other proposals reportedly include special operations missions to secure Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
