The New York Times: U.S. Considers Military and Cyber Options Against Iran

The New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing U.S. military officials, that the United States has three missile-equipped destroyers and at least one missile submarine stationed in the Middle East as part of its military reinforcement in the area.

The report indicated that the Pentagon has presented President Donald Trump with various options for potential actions against Iran, which include strikes on its nuclear program and missile sites, as well as a possible cyber attack targeting Iran's internal security.

According to officials, the most likely option is a cyber attack, as it is viewed as less risky compared to direct military strikes while still achieving strategic objectives by applying pressure on Tehran.

This report highlights the escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran, with U.S. preparations for a range of options that include conventional military escalation and electronic warfare.
