Trump weighs targeted Iran strike, larger attack possible if talks fail, NYT says
President Trump considers a targeted strike on Iran's nuclear and military sites, with broader regime-change plans if talks fail, amid deployment of 50,000 U.S. troops, officials say.
- On Sunday, US President Donald Trump considered a targeted strike and a larger attack in coming months to topple Iran's leadership if diplomacy fails, targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and nuclear sites.
- Negotiators, mediated by Oman, will hold last-ditch talks in Geneva on February 26, discussing a proposal for limited uranium enrichment for medical research, officials said.
- The US has positioned two aircraft carrier groups, fighter jets, and F-35s, with discussions about potential strikes held yesterday, according to reports.
- Reports say an order for airstrikes could come in the coming days, but administration officials doubt airstrikes alone can remove Iran’s leadership and have set aside special operations forces options.
- With negotiators discussing an off-ramp, President Trump has publicly demanded `zero enrichment` while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Sunday there is still a good chance for diplomacy.
