Trump Briefed on All-Out War Options in Iran but Opts to Stick With Talks: WSJ
Trump is weighing limited strikes if talks fail, while aides say he is willing to let negotiations run past the August 18 deadline.
- United States President Donald Trump has decided to prioritize diplomatic efforts over military action regarding Iran, The Wall Street Journal reported.
- A 14-point pact finalized on June 17 established a 60-day window to reach a permanent peace agreement, though both sides remain far from agreeing on the framework requiring Iran to surrender control of the Strait of Hormuz.
- Trump recently discussed whether to continue negotiations or launch strikes with Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine, while a deconfliction channel between the US Army's Central Command and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps remains operational.
- On Tuesday, Iranian chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Iran pursues dialogue but is "also prepared for war and will respond accordingly," emphasizing that sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz lies with Iran and Oman.
- Vice President Vance claimed Iran will not be allowed control over the Strait, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has distanced Israel from the deal, arguing it fails to address the war's primary motives of eliminating Iran's nuclear program.
