🚨🇮🇷 The United States has initiated a new wave of airstrikes against Iran. According to the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. has prepared a plan for an air campaign lasting 10 to 14 days, involving intensive aerial attacks. CENTCOM believes this decision will help resolve the deadlock in the ongoing war, secure shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, and reduce the U.S. need for interceptor missiles by destroying enemy launch sites. Trump is weighing this campaign against limited military actions that would allow for continued negotiations. Additionally, the New York Times reports that drone strikes on an Egyptian port signal Iran's capability to disrupt global shipping, putting Egypt at risk of becoming further involved in the conflict.
