Trump weighing initial limited military strike to force Iran into nuclear deal, claims WSJ

Washington/ Tehran (Web Desk): US President Donald Trump is reportedly considering a limited military strike against Iran as part of a tougher strategy aimed at pressuring Tehran into accepting American demands for a new nuclear agreement.

According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, the potential military action would serve as the first phase of a broader pressure campaign designed to bring Iran back to the negotiating table. The report suggests that specific Iranian military installations and government facilities could be targeted in order to send a strong message to the country’s leadership.

The proposed action is described as a “surgical strike” rather than a large-scale war, intended to weaken Iran’s defensive and administrative capabilities without escalating into a full military conflict.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, President Trump made his position clear, stating that Iran has only 10 to 15 days to agree to a new deal. “We will either reach a good agreement, or we will have to do something that will be very painful for Iran,” he said.
