Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with Iran’s handling of negotiations to end the war, with some aides saying he is now more open to resuming major combat operations, CNN reports.
Inside the administration, officials are divided on next steps. Some Pentagon officials favor stronger military pressure, including targeted strikes, while others still want to pursue diplomacy.
Trump allies also want Pakistani mediators to take a tougher approach with Iran, with some US officials believing Pakistan has softened Tehran’s position in communications with Washington.
