U.S. newspaper reports: Trump interested in expanding the war in Iran; from capturing islands to attacking underground nuclear sites 🔹 "Wall Street Journal": After several days of receiving briefings from senior advisers, Trump has shown a tendency to expand military operations in Iran. 🔹 Proposed options include increasing airstrikes, deploying ground forces to capture Iranian islands near the Strait of Hormuz, and bombing a fortified site that may be used for secret nuclear activities. 🔹 Some U.S. officials have stated that Trump is reluctant to commit to deploying ground forces. He has repeatedly moderated his most significant public threats, including the seizure of Khark Island and targeting Iran's oil industry. 🔹 However, if these plans are approved, the most dangerous stage of warfare, nearly five months into its initiation, would begin; a conflict that would likely lead to rising fuel prices and complicate the Republicans' plans for the midterm elections./ Jamaran
