US officials: Trump to decide within days on expanding military operations against Iran

According to Odaily Planet Daily, citing Fox News, senior US officials said that President Donald 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 stated that if Trump orders the resumption of full-scale military action, its scale and intensity would "far exceed" the US airstrikes that began on July 7 and lasted nine nights; those previous airstrikes primarily targeted Iranian military assets related to operations around the Strait of Hormuz. One official also confirmed that US forces had largely avoided striking targets near Tehran or Iran's nuclear facilities. "If full-scale combat operations resume, this situation could change," the official said. (Jinshi)
