A report says U.S. President Donald Trump held several conversations with senior defence officials about whether the United States should leave existing negotiations with Iran and broaden military action against Tehran. According to the report, Trump discussed the option with Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine. The discussions reportedly focused on whether Washington should pursue a return to wider military operations rather than continuing diplomatic efforts. The reporting describes the scenario as nearly shifting toward war to “finish the job,” reflecting the discussion of a more expansive campaign against Iran. The available account does not specify the outcome of those conversations or whether any policy change is implemented, but it indicates that military options were actively considered at the highest levels. No additional details on timing, specific actions, or Iran-related developments are included in the provided excerpts.
