The White House is discussing a scenario for a prolonged military campaign against Iran. According to sources, the administration of US President Donald Trump is considering an operation that could last up to 30 days. However, a final decision has not yet been made and depends directly on Tehran's further actions.
Scenario of a Month-Long War
As journalists have learned, US authorities are actively working out various scenarios for developments in the Middle East. Journalist Barak Ravid reported that the US anticipates that a new wave of strikes against Iran could last about a month. At the same time, Donald Trump reserves the right to change course if the Iranian side demonstrates a change in behavior.
Chronology of Escalation
Last night, US forces struck Iranian territory — approximately 100 targets were hit. This occurred after the US President announced the cancellation of the ceasefire with Iran on July 8. Trump also stated that he is refusing to negotiate with Tehran following Iran's attack on merchant ships on July 7.
Negotiations and the Strait of Hormuz
Following the new US strikes, the Iranian side contacted Washington and proposed reaching an agreement. However, Trump has not yet decided on a response. Meanwhile, journalists have learned that the US is preparing for a resumption of mutual attacks with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz — a key maritime route controlling oil supplies to the global economy.
