Trump2026-09-01 15:42:34US Weighs 'Mowing the Lawn' Strikes on Iranian Military Targets Near Strait of Hormuz, Report SaysThe Trump administration is reportedly considering a plan to conduct periodic limited strikes on Iranian military targets near the Strait of Hormuz, an operation dubbed 'mow the lawn' by US military officials. The plan, proposed by US Central Command, aims to prevent Iran from rebuilding its capacity to attack commercial vessels. President Trump has not yet approved the plan, but the White House's stance may have shifted after Iran's recent missile attack on a US base in Jordan. If approved, the US would move from sporadic strikes to a sustained, low-intensity military campaign against Iran, heightening risks in the region.820

Donald Trump2026-07-26 09:07:15Trump paused a broader strike on Iran over escalation concerns, U.S. side saysAccording to a report cited by Odaily and attributed to CCTV News, people on the U.S. side said President Donald Trump held off on expanding the scale of military strikes against Iran because Washington was concerned that a wider conflict could escalate and trigger a harsher Iranian response. The report also said such an escalation could further drain the Pentagon’s stockpile of air defense interceptors in the Middle East. Since the 7th of this month, the U.S. has carried out repeated strikes on Iran, saying the operations were in response to Iranian attacks on merchant ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. After that, U.S. military bases in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates came under heavy Iranian attack. The report added that Trump said on the 23rd he was considering launching “a large-scale strike” on Iran, and was still weighing broader military action before a meeting on the 24th. After that meeting, he ordered the U.S. military not to launch a strike on Iran.2000
United States2026-07-21 03:29:21US intelligence assessment seen as pessimistic on a new round of strikes on IranOn July 21, BlockBeats reported that US journalist John Hudson said American intelligence agencies hold a pessimistic view of a new round of military strikes targeting Iran. Current and former officials cited in the report said such strikes are unlikely to have a major effect on Iran and are also unlikely to soften Tehran’s negotiating position. According to US intelligence analysts, Tehran and Washington are stuck in an open-ended stalemate between war and peace, a situation they described as troubling as reciprocal hostilities between the two sides grow more deadly. The analysts also said intelligence assessments on issues such as Iran are not designed to make precise predictions about the future. Instead, they summarize the present situation and possible future trends based on all available classified intelligence, including human and technical collection, along with public information.1840
