(Web Desk): A US newspaper claims fresh military plans against Iran, including possible strikes and a controversial Hormuz takeover idea.

A leading American newspaper has claimed that United States Central Command is preparing a new wave of rapid and intense strikes against Iran. According to the report, the objective behind these potential attacks could be to break the ongoing deadlock in negotiations or to deliver a decisive blow before any final end to the conflict.

The report suggests that key Iranian infrastructure could be targeted if the plan moves forward. Analysts say such actions may significantly escalate tensions in the already volatile Middle East region, raising concerns about broader instability and economic fallout.

Another controversial aspect of the reported plan includes a proposal to take control of a portion of the Strait of Hormuz. This critical global shipping route is vital for oil transportation, and any disruption or control could have far-reaching implications for international trade and energy markets.

 

 

US military officials are expected to brief Donald Trump on the situation. Reports also claim that Trump has shared a new map of the Strait of Hormuz, controversially labeling it as the “Trump Strait,” a move that could spark diplomatic reactions worldwide.

Experts warn that if these developments materialize, they could trigger sharp reactions from global powers and further impact oil prices, trade routes, and geopolitical stability.
