The White House War Room held a closed-door meeting, and plans for strikes on Iran A and B have been finalized!

On the 22nd, the mysterious underground War Room at the White House in Washington was lit for a full three hours. Trump, along with his core advisors, turned the consideration of striking Iran into a concrete plan. And it’s not just one plan—there are two: Plan A involves a small initial strike, followed by a larger operation under Plan B.

Currently, the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford has passed through the Strait of Gibraltar and arrived in the Eastern Mediterranean, forming a dual carrier deterrent with the Abraham Lincoln near the Arabian Sea. Iran is also not holding back; satellite images show that they have backfilled the entrances to their nuclear facility tunnels with dirt, clearly adopting an extreme defensive posture.

What exactly are Plans A and B? According to information revealed after the meeting, Trump approved two options. Plan A, called the “Oil Additive Tactic,” involves carrying out a preliminary, small-scale symbolic strike on Iran within the next few days. The goal is not full-scale war but to send a signal to Khamenei: you need to step down voluntarily. This strike might involve precision missile attacks targeting a few nuclear facilities or Revolutionary Guard command centers, with minimal disturbance but clear intent.

Plan B is much more aggressive. If diplomatic efforts or the initial strikes fail to force Khamenei to step down, the White House is considering launching a larger-scale military attack later this year. This operation would draw on the model used against Venezuela. What does this mean? It suggests that special forces might need to be prepared, and the scale of the conflict could escalate into a regional war.

It is said that opinions during the meeting were not unanimous. Secretary of State Pompeo, Defense Secretary Hegseth, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff all agreed. Pompeo is the most hawkish member of Trump’s cabinet. However, Vice President Pence and Tursi Ghabad held different views. Pence opposed the plans, not out of moral reasons, but due to strategic caution and overall considerations.

He calculated that, twenty years after 9/11, the U.S. has spent nearly $8 trillion on overseas wars, with over 900,000 lives lost. He now opposes the plans because he believes America’s national strength cannot sustain another overseas conflict, and he himself is a potential strong Republican candidate for the 2028 presidential race, wanting to avoid war baggage. Tursi Ghabad has always advocated reducing overseas military interventions, so her opposition was expected.

In the end, Trump approved moving forward with Plan A first, but also keeping Plan B ready. This indicates that he still prefers to strike, but how and when to do so depends on the situation. #加密市场反弹 $BTC
