President Trump has received an explanation from defense ministry officials regarding the potential military actions that the United States may undertake against Iran.

According to U.S. officials from the Pentagon, in collaboration with BBC, as reported by CBS, a long-range missile strike has been identified as a primary option for execution.

However, there are also discussions surrounding cyber attacks and diplomatic measures. The national security team of Trump is convening today, Tuesday, at the White House to deliberate on the available options for action against Iran; however, it is noted that the President's involvement remains uncertain.

Sources have indicated to CBS that if the United States proceeds with military action against Iran, air power is expected to play a significant role, particularly as the Iranian government is contemplating the disruption of communication lines and the potential for escalation as a viable option.

This statement indicates that the American government has called for its citizens to either leave Iran or to find a way to exit without requiring support from the American government.

 Since the previous week, the President of the United States has been repeatedly stating that if there are any Iranian opposition figures who are at risk of being harmed, they will take "serious action."

 Iranian authorities have also indicated that they are prepared to respond to any attacks; however, they have made it clear that they are ready for negotiations.
