What happened

Well supportedReported by 10 independent outlets

Oil prices rose on Thursday after reports indicated that Donald Trump and Israel had drawn up plans for new attacks on Iran's nuclear sites, energy infrastructure, and missile and drone arsenal. The American military was exploring options for full-scale military action against Iran, which included deploying three aircraft carriers to the Middle East. Donald Trump rejected five proposals for large-scale military action presented by his national security team.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The planned military operations and the buildup of forces in the Middle East could destabilize regional trade and energy markets. US planners believe a short, intensive military operation could tip Iran's economy over the edge and force concessions on its nuclear program.

Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, and peace talks are currently underway involving Donald Trump and Bandar Abbas.
