CNN: US general looks for "creative" ways to pressure Iran

A high-ranking officer from the US Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversees military operations against Iran, has sent an unusual email requesting 'creative and unconventional' ideas to exert pressure on Tehran. The request was reportedly sent last Wednesday to a wide circle of military analysts and highlights concerns over limited and potentially unacceptable options available to President Donald Trump to force Iran into a deal under American terms. The move suggests a search for alternative strategies, with CENTCOM initiating internal discussions to consider all possibilities. While the US has conducted air strikes on Iran to weaken its ability to threaten shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and bring Tehran back to the negotiating table, these efforts have not yet led to a deal. Trump is considering intensifying the military campaign, possibly including new attacks on remaining Iranian nuclear facilities, but experts warn such actions could lead to significant risks and casualties. The administration faces questions about transparency regarding potential military losses.
