> Donald Trump and senior aides have considered limited strikes against Iran around the Strait of Hormuz to stop Tehran from rebuilding radar and missile capabilities for attacks on ships, Axios reports, citing US administration sources. Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth backed plans developed by the military, but Trump has not ordered them. The White House was reportedly leaning against the operation to avoid escalation.
