US Military Action: US President Donald Trump returned from China tour on Friday. With his return, he faces a big decision regarding Iran. America can now take military action again amid the ongoing tension over Iran’s nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz.
According to the report of American newspaper The New York Times, Trump’s senior advisors have prepared a new plan for possible military action. The report says that if President Trump feels that diplomacy has completely failed, then America may soon start military attacks on Iran again. It was told that Pentagon officials are preparing to restart “Operation Epic Fury”. This operation was stopped after Trump declared a ceasefire last month. Now it can be started again with a new name.

Iran issue also raised in meeting with Xi Jinping
Trump also confirmed that the issue of Iran came up in his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. However, he said that he did not make any request to China to put pressure on Iran.
Strait of Hormuz is important for China
According to the report, China is a major strategic partner of Iran and is heavily dependent on oil and gas supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. For this reason, many countries are trying to reach an agreement to end this crisis and reopen this sea route to Iran.
America wants diplomatic victory
The report says that officials of many countries are trying to make such an agreement so that Trump can present it as a diplomatic victory. Its purpose is also to assure American voters that America will not get trapped in a long and costly war. However, the situation still remains tense. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in a statement to Congress this week, “We have a plan ready to escalate the conflict if needed.” He also said that America has a plan to reduce military deployment and gradually withdraw more than 50 thousand American soldiers present in the Middle East. According to the report, American and Israeli officials are preparing for possible new attacks on Iran next week. Two Middle East officials have described it as the “biggest preparation” since the ceasefire came into effect.
