Trump Pushes for “Decisive” Military Options Against Iran — Reports

January 21, 2026

Jamisi News — United States President Donald Trump has reportedly directed his top advisers to develop what he described as “decisive” military options against Iran, according to a report published by The Times of Israel and cited by The Wall Street Journal.
The report revealed that President Trump has consistently used the term “decisive” in discussions with senior officials, outlining the kind of outcome he expects should the United States undertake military action against Iran. This posture has reportedly prompted officials within the White House and the Pentagon to draft several possible scenarios, including options that could significantly weaken or potentially topple the Iranian regime.
Sources familiar with the discussions indicated that more restrained military options are also under review. These reportedly include targeted strikes on facilities associated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a key force in the country’s military and strategic operations. The measures are said to be designed to apply pressure on Tehran without triggering a wider regional conflict.
Despite the renewed military planning, U.S. officials emphasized that no final decision has been made. Nevertheless, tensions remain high as American military assets continue to reposition in the Middle East. Reports indicate that a U.S. aircraft carrier, accompanied by fighter jets, is currently heading toward the region, underscoring Washington’s readiness to respond if deemed necessary.
