Steve Vitkoff, the special envoy of U.S. President Donald Trump, shared his thoughts on the Iranian situation during an interview on a television program.

According to Vitkoff, Trump is surprised that Iran is not surrendering. The President wonders why, given the current pressure and significant naval presence in the region, Tehran has not reached out to Washington to request an end to the armed confrontation.

Options for the Trump Administration

Earlier, the portal published information that the Trump administration is considering a wide range of options regarding Iran, from attempts to negotiate a new nuclear agreement to more aggressive scenarios. According to the data presented by the article’s authors, the White House is willing to discuss a scenario in which Iran is allowed only symbolic uranium enrichment, provided that it does not lead to the creation of nuclear weapons.

Military Options from the Pentagon

According to information obtained from high-ranking sources, the Pentagon has presented Trump with several military options. One of them includes the elimination of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, his son Mojtaba, and other key figures in the Iranian leadership. One source confirmed that this plan was presented to Trump several weeks ago, but a decision on it has not yet been made.
