The plan, developed by US Central Command, aims to prevent Iran from rebuilding military capabilities to attack ships. This strategy, described by one official as 'lawnmowing', would involve periodic strikes to counter Iran's efforts to restore radar, air defence, and anti-ship missile systems. The goal is to ensure safe passage for oil tankers and naval vessels in the Gulf."},{"type":"paragraph","text":"The plan was not approved before a recent exchange of strikes between the US and Iran. US forces struck two launch sites on Iran's Larak Island on 30 August, which were preparing to launch a rocket carrying mines. In response, Iran launched ballistic missiles towards a US base in Jordan. Following these exchanges, President Trump stated, \"We will hit them hard. There will be a response.\""},{"type":"paragraph","text":"US officials believe Iran has been working to restore its ability to attack ships more accurately. They view Iran's recent firing of a surface-to-air missile towards a US F-35 fighter jet, which was escorting ships in the strait, as a signal of this rebuilding effort. However, the US has so far refrained from directly attacking Iran's major oil and gas facilities. The proposed strikes focus on degrading military capabilities in the strait rather than large-scale destruction of energy infrastructure."},{"type":"paragraph","text":"Iran has warned of a strong response to further attacks but has also indicated a desire for negotiation. A high-ranking source familiar with Iran's decision-making described the recent US-Iran clashes as 'limited and controlled' and stated that Iran would respond forcefully if the US attacked again.
