The deliberations come as Washington assesses its next steps following heightened tensions with Tehran, with military planners presenting multiple options to the White House, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Neither the White House nor the Pentagon has publicly commented on the reported plans.
The United States and Iran have remained locked in a prolonged confrontation over Tehran’s nuclear programme, regional influence and support for armed groups across West Asia. Tensions have repeatedly flared into direct military exchanges, raising fears of a wider regional conflict.
