Geopolitical Conflict/Military Action

The article reports, citing The Wall Street Journal, that US President Donald Trump and his advisers are considering resuming limited strikes against Iran following unsuccessful talks in Pakistan. While a full-scale bombing campaign remains a possibility, the report notes that such an action is considered less likely due to the risks of regional destabilization and prolonged conflict for Washington.
