What happened
Donald Trump has stated he is close to deciding whether to authorize a massive attack against Iran, and has discussed potential ground operations in the region. Trump acknowledged that Iran retains missile and drone stocks and production capabilities. Previous military operations launched by the United States and Israel disrupted global energy supplies but did not break Tehran's control over the Strait of Hormuz.
