Trump said weighing new strikes as he seeks 'decisive' victory amid frustration with Iran talks

President Donald Trump is seriously considering launching new airstrikes on Iran if last-minute diplomatic efforts fail, according to multiple United States media reports. He met with senior officials, including the vice president, defense secretary, and Central Intelligence Agency director, to review potential military targets such as energy infrastructure, missile launch sites, and stockpiles of highly enriched uranium. Sources said Trump has discussed the possibility of a final 'decisive' operation that would allow him to declare victory and end the war.

The renewed military planning comes amid growing frustration within the White House over stalled negotiations with Tehran. Iran has accused Washington of making excessive demands, particularly regarding its nuclear program and control of the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian officials said deep disagreements remain, even as regional countries attempt to mediate and prevent a return to open conflict.

Tensions have also emerged between Washington and Israel. Israeli officials reportedly feel sidelined from the latest diplomatic efforts, despite earlier close coordination during the war. Meanwhile, Pakistan continues to serve as the main mediator, with additional diplomatic involvement from Qatar and China as efforts continue to preserve a fragile truce established in April.
