Axios reported, citing three US officials, that US President Donald Trump and his top advisers are considering conducting limited strikes in the Strait of Hormuz to prevent the Islamic Republic from rebuilding its radar and missile capabilities to attack ships. The plan, developed last week by US Central Command and backed by Secretary of War Pete Hegsett, had not been approved by Trump before this weekend's exchange of fire with Iran. But he may approve it after the new escalation of tensions. One US official said the main idea of the plan is to reduce the risk of Tehran attacking tankers, US Navy vessels and US Air Force aircraft; the official said the goal is to cut the grass. A White House official said: "The president has all options." The Iranians want to make a deal, but they always come a day late and a dollar short. Trump told Fox News on Monday evening that the US will respond to the Republic's attacks and will target them very heavily
