Forecast Trend Report by Period

President Donald Trump is considering resuming limited military action against Iran after negotiations with Tehran collapsed, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The newspaper reported June 13 that Trump and his advisers are weighing several military options, including renewed limited airstrikes on Iran alongside a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

The discussions took place shortly after talks in Pakistan broke down. The options are being considered as a way to break the current impasse.

A broader expansion of airstrikes is considered less likely, the report said. Concerns about wider regional instability and the burden of a prolonged military engagement were cited as factors in the deliberations.

Officials are also reviewing a plan to maintain a short-term maritime blockade while working with allies to build a future escort system for the Strait of Hormuz.
