US officials: Trump to decide within days on expanding military operations against Iran
Odaily Odaily News According to Fox News, senior US officials stated that US President Trump is expected to decide within the next few days whether to expand military operations against Iran and resume full-scale combat. These officials emphasized that no final decision has been made yet. Officials indicated that if Trump orders the resumption of full-scale military operations, its scale and intensity would "far exceed" the US airstrikes that began on July 7 and lasted for nine nights; those airstrikes primarily targeted Iranian military assets related to operations around the Strait of Hormuz. One official also confirmed that the US military had previously largely avoided striking targets near Tehran or Iran's nuclear facilities. "That could change if full-scale combat operations resume," the official said. (Jinshi)
Odaily星球日报讯 据福克斯新闻，美国高级官员表示，美国总统特朗普预计将在未来几天内决定是否扩大针对伊朗的军事行动并恢复全面作战。这些官员强调，目前尚未做出最终决定。官员们表示，如果特朗普下令恢复全面军事行动，其规模和强度将“远超”自 7 月 7 日开始、持续九晚的美国空袭行动；此前的空袭主要针对与霍尔木兹海峡周边行动有关的伊朗军事资产。一位官员还证实，美军此前在很大程度上避免了打击德黑兰附近的目标或伊朗的核设施。“如果恢复全面战争行动，这种情况可能会发生改变，”该官员说道。(金十)
