US Prepares Military Plan For Iran
House Armed Services Committee member Adam Smith has attended closed-door briefings with Pentagon officials regarding a military strike. The first option involves a potential seizure of Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpiles through an aerial operation. The third option relies on a naval blockade of Iranian ports to induce economic surrender, though US officials note this could take months. Domestic pressure in the US regarding the potential for war and rising prices is also noted as a factor. The administration faces domestic pressure regarding rising commodity and fuel prices, alongside pressure from European allies experiencing energy shortages. These plans are reportedly not new and have been previously discussed. The review comes as allies in Europe face energy shortages and Gulf allies face difficulties exporting energy through the Strait of Hormuz.
