US Armada On The Way, Airspace Shut: Is Trump About To Launch "Decisive" Strikes Against Iran? | 4K

After pulling back from strikes on Iran last week, US President Donald Trump is still pressing for what he terms “decisive” military options. But Iran appears to have tightened its control of the country and targeted protesters through a crackdown that has killed thousands. The discussions are happening while America sends an aircraft carrier and fighter jets to the Middle East. Those deployments may be the start of a broader buildup that would give Trump the firepower to strike Iran. Trump has repeatedly used the word “decisive” when describing what effect he would like any American action to have on Iran. That phrasing has spurred Trump’s aides at the Pentagon and White House to refine a suite of options for the President, including pushing the regime out of power. Officials also are devising more modest options, which could include targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Trump has yet to order strikes on Iran, and what he ultimately will decide remains unclear.
