The White House on July 25 pushed back against a New York Times report claiming U.S. President Donald Trump had temporarily set aside plans for a major escalation in military strikes against Iran. According to the response, Trump has not removed any options from consideration.
White House communications director Steven Cheung said Trump has made clear that he would prefer to resolve the issue through diplomacy. At the same time, Cheung said all options remain available if Iran continues taking action in the Strait of Hormuz or continues targeting U.S. allies.
The statement directly counters the report cited by Odaily and attributes the White House response to remarks made on the same day. No additional measures or timeline were disclosed in the source material.
