The President of the USA, Donald Trump, will receive information on Thursday from the head of the US Central Command, Brad Cooper, about new plans for a possible military action against Iran. This briefing takes place in the context of a fragile ceasefire that has lasted for three weeks, and Washington hopes to make Iran more flexible in nuclear negotiations. Among the options discussed are 'short and powerful' strikes on Iranian infrastructure, which could raise issues of international legality. Another option involves taking control of a part of the Strait of Hormuz to reopen commercial traffic, and a third option involves a special forces operation to secure Iran's stock of enriched uranium. The war with Iran, unpopular in the USA, has had a significant impact on markets and oil prices.
