Reuters: With no clear way out of the war, Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM), presented Trump with options for resuming military operations last week, according to two sources familiar with the matter. However, the assessments of American intelligence in recent months have shown that the renewal of attacks in Iran will not fundamentally change Tehran's position in the negotiations and will not lead to a change of government in Iran. This was said by an American intelligence official and two other American officials who were aware of these assessments. Sources familiar with internal government discussions warn that Trump may still decide to take military action. According to these sources, he was aware of the political risks of such a move even before Tuesday's election, but "he didn't care at all." One of the sources said that now that the mid-term elections are over, Trump has nothing to lose politically and it is more likely that he will toughen his position towards Iran and put an attack on Iran on the agenda. The second source also agreed that the most likely way is to renew the military conflicts. According to him, "He is planning to bomb Iran. Don't listen to what he says. He dismissed the attack because the mid-term elections are approaching. "We asked him to stop after the mid-term elections." All of these sources spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity.
