Trump is reportedly considering renewed military action against Iran, CNN says citing sources amid rising tensions and stalled diplomatic efforts.
According to CNN, citing informed sources, US President Donald J. Trump is now giving more serious consideration to resuming military operations against Iran compared with previous weeks, as tensions between Washington and Tehran continue to escalate.
The sources said Trump has grown increasingly frustrated over the continued disruption and closure of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical energy shipping routes. Any prolonged closure of the waterway, they warned, could intensify global economic pressure and deepen fears of a broader regional crisis.
The report also noted that a recent Iranian response to US-backed proposals has raised doubts among American officials about whether Tehran is genuinely prepared to engage in meaningful negotiations, as diplomatic efforts remain stalled.
In parallel, sources said advisers close to Trump are urging Pakistani mediators involved in backchannel talks to take a firmer and more direct stance with Iranian counterparts, in an effort to push negotiations toward tangible progress.
