Pentagon Offers Trump Wider Range of Attack Options Against Iran

Buenos Aires, January 13 (NA) – The Pentagon presented US President Donald Trump with a 'broader range of attack options' against Iran than had been previously reported, the newspaper The New York Times (NYT) reported on Monday, citing a government source. According to the information disseminated by Xinhua, among the possible targets are Iran's nuclear program, beyond the US airstrikes that hit it last June, as well as ballistic missile sites. However, the official noted that more limited options, such as a cyberattack or an attack on Iran's internal security apparatus, are more likely, as Argentina News Agency was able to learn. Meanwhile, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Monday that 'airstrikes would be one of the many, many options on the table for the commander in chief,' although she emphasized that diplomacy is always Trump's first option. Trump warned on Sunday that his Administration is considering 'very strong options' against Iran, including possible military action.
