🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — President Trump is weighing three competing approaches toward Iran as divisions emerge within his administration and among regional allies, according to Axios. Vice President JD Vance and envoy Steve Witkoff favor a diplomatic agreement, warning that renewed military action may fail to improve the situation. Most Gulf countries support this approach. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth advocate resuming military operations, arguing that Iran cannot be trusted to negotiate or honor an agreement. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Secretary of State Marco Rubio favor maintaining maximum economic pressure without immediately pursuing either war or a deal. Ratcliffe believes prolonged economic hardship could force Tehran into greater concessions or generate enough domestic instability to trigger an uprising.
