U.S. intelligence agencies have presented concerning data suggesting a military operation against Iran may be necessary, according to The Wall Street Journal. This comes as President Donald Trump seeks diplomatic channels for an agreement with Iran, while intelligence officials doubt the effectiveness of economic pressure alone. Tehran is reportedly determined to maintain power at any cost, and Washington acknowledges that sanctions are insufficient to alter the Iranian regime's policies.
In recent weeks, the U.S. military has conducted covert strikes on Qeshm Island, Iran's largest island, which the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has used for drone and missile launches. On Tuesday, Iranian state media reported that Tehran struck a small Omani island crucial for shipping navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
Earlier, Iran officially opened a new missile facility, dubbed "missile city," belonging to the IRGC's Air and Space Force. Participants inspected the base's missile arsenals and assessed its operational readiness.
Additionally, Vice Admiral Kurt Renshaw, Commander of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, visited Israel within the last 24 hours. This visit occurred amid ongoing consultations between U.S. and Israeli military officials to coordinate actions in case of a potential escalation with Iran in the near future.
