The administration of US President Donald Trump considers aviation and long-range missiles to be the most important tools for possible forceful influence on Iran. This was reported on January 12 by the CBS television channel with reference to representatives of the Pentagon.

"Aircraft and long-range missiles remain key elements of any potential military response in Iran. However, according to officials, Pentagon planners have also presented options for cyber operations and psychological campaigns aimed at undermining Iranian command structures, communications, and state media.

The sources also add that the Pentagon is considering scenarios in which the conflict will not be limited to strikes, but will include long-term operations in the digital space and campaigns to exert psychological pressure on the Iranian leadership.

In response, Tehran may attack American bases in Israel, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt said on January 12 that Trump would not be afraid to use American military force against Iran if circumstances required it. She confirmed that one of the representatives of the Iranian government contacted the special envoy of the American leader, Steven Witkoff, and expressed a position significantly different in tone from Tehran's public statements.
