Axios: "Trump officials on the condition of anonymity" divulge details on what option Trump is "leaning toward" [View all]
State of play: Two U.S. officials said Trump is leaning toward taking some form of military action against Iran to increase pressure on the regime and force concessions on its nuclear program.
"He will tune them up a bit," one U.S. official said.
"I think we all know where this is going," a second U.S. official said.
What to watch: One option Trump is considering is resuming "Project Freedom," the U.S. operation to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz, which was suspended last week.
Another option is to resume the bombing campaign and strike the 25% of targets the U.S. military identified but hasn't hit yet.
