"U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has prepared a plan for a short and powerful wave of strikes on Iran in hopes of breaking the negotiating deadlock, three sources with knowledge said."

President Trump has turned down Iran's latest peace offer while the U.S. military prepares to resume strikes against Iran. The ongoing conflict, which began in February, has centered around the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's uranium enrichment program. Iran proposed to reopen the strait in exchange for delaying nuclear discussions, but Trump rejected this. U.S. Central Command has developed a plan for targeted strikes to break the deadlock and encourage Iran to negotiate more flexibly. Trump believes blocking the strait is more effective than bombing, although strikes remain an option.
