Trump's forces still unsure where to strike - Nuclear bunkers, missile bases or Khamenei himself?

U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly weighing a targeted strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, with the possibility of a broader and prolonged military campaign if initial action fails, according to The New York Times. Discussions inside the White House include potential regime-change scenarios, escalation risks, and concerns over Iran’s advanced missile capabilities and regional retaliation. Vice President JD Vance and senior advisors have reviewed operational feasibility, while comparisons to the Venezuela model highlight Iran’s far more complex defenses.
