Amid stalled negotiations with Iran, US President Donald Trump is reportedly weighing three military options as outlined by the US Central Command (CENTCOM). The first option involves launching a series of targeted airstrikes aimed at Iranian infrastructure, intended to compel Tehran to negotiate more favorably on nuclear issues. However, such strikes could violate international law, potentially classifying them as war crimes under the 1949 Geneva Conventions. The second option includes taking control of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial passage for global oil shipments, to facilitate commercial shipping. This strategy may necessitate deploying ground forces. Finally, a special forces operation to secure Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium is also being considered, as Trump views Iran's nuclear program as a significant threat. The ongoing conflict has already disrupted markets and increased oil prices, raising concerns about its broader economic implications.
