The United States is weighing what officials describe as a potential “final blow” against Iran, with plans under discussion ranging from a sweeping bombing campaign to risky ground operations deep inside the country, according to an Axios report citing multiple sources familiar.
The proposals come as President Donald Trump ramps up pressure on Tehran amid a widening Middle East war and stalled diplomatic efforts. The Pentagon’s planning reflects growing frustration in Washington, where officials believe a decisive show of force could either compel Iran to negotiate or "simply give Trump something to point to and declare victory", the report said.
