CENTCOM has prepared a plan for a "short and powerful" wave of strikes against Iran aimed at trying to break the current impasse in negotiations, three sources familiar to Israeli Media (channel 12)

The sources said that after such attacks, which would likely include infrastructure targets, the US would call on the regime to return to the negotiating table with a greater willingness to make concessions on the nuclear deal

Sources said that at this point Trump still wants to continue the naval blockade to see if Iran surrenders. But he is considering the military plan if that doesn't happen

Now axios reporting (repeating) this (and others ofc with flashing red/yellow emojis)
