Senior U.S. Central Command officer seeks new ways to pressure Iran

Foreign networks reported that a senior officer in U.S. Central Command sent an email last week to a large group of analysts, writing: "We are looking for new, innovative, and unconventional ways to pressure Iran and punish it." The account says the initiative reflects an understanding that the options available to the Trump administration are limited and may be politically or militarily unacceptable, and that a new strategy needs to be explored.
