According to Fox News, US senior officials said President Trump is expected to
decide within days whether to broaden military action against Iran and resume
full-scale operations; no final decision has been made. Officials said any order
to resume full-scale operations would be far larger and more intense than the
airstrikes that began July 7 and ran nine nights, which mainly targeted Iranian
military assets tied to activity around the Strait of Hormuz. One official said
US forces have largely avoided strikes near Tehran or against Iranian nuclear
facilities to date; that could change if full-scale operations are ordered.
