President Trump has returned from China facing a critical decision on whether to resume military strikes against Iran.
Top aides have prepared battle plans for potential action, according to senior administration officials.
The military options come as peace negotiations between the U.S. and Iran have stalled in recent weeks.
Diplomatic efforts have failed to produce a breakthrough on Tehran’s nuclear program or its regional activities.
Trump has long favored a strategy of maximum pressure but has also expressed reluctance to start new conflicts.
His advisors remain divided, with some urging restraint and others pushing for a decisive military response.
The White House has not confirmed any timeline for a final decision on the matter.
Iran has warned that any attack would be met with a severe and immediate retaliation.
The situation remains tense as both sides prepare for possible escalation or renewed talks.
