US Military Seeks New Strategies to Pressure Iran Amid Stalled Negotiations
A senior US Central Command (CENTCOM) officer reportedly sent an email to military analysts seeking 'creative and unconventional' ways to pressure and punish Iran amid ongoing airstrikes and stalled nuclear negotiations. The request reflects the Trump administration's reassessment of its strategy, acknowledging the limits of air power and the challenges in forcing Iran to negotiate. CENTCOM defended the approach as part of its tradition of innovation, while regional leaders urged de-escalation following threats of fresh strikes.
