What will the US military do if the ceasefire between America and Iran fails? The dangerous planning of the US Army has come to light. CNN has reported in its report that America is planning to attack Iran’s defense bases around the Strait of Hormuz.
CNN quoted sources as saying that the US military’s targets could include Iran’s most dangerous attacking boats, mine-laying ships, missiles and drones, which Iran uses to control sea lanes. Apart from this, it has also been told that America can also target its energy bases and senior leaders to bring Iran to its knees.
There was an uproar due to the closure of Hormuz
There was an uproar across the world after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz. US forces targeted Iran’s navy, but most of the first month of bombing was against targets located off Hormuz, allowing US forces to attack Iran’s interior.

A person familiar with America’s planning said, ‘Until you can clearly prove that Iran’s military capability has been 100% destroyed, it will depend on how willing Trump is to accept this risk and start sending ships through the strait.’
America can attack Iran’s energy bases
To bring Iran to the negotiating table, the US military can implement Trump’s threat to attack energy sites and infrastructure in Tehran. Trump has said that in the absence of a diplomatic solution to the war, America will start military operations again. CNN previously reported that according to US intelligence agencies’ assessments, about half of Iran’s missile launchers and thousands of drones survived the US bombing campaign.
What did Hegseth say?
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth admitted during a press briefing that Iran had transferred some of its military assets to new locations during the ceasefire. Hegseth has threatened to attack those targets if Iran refuses to agree to a deal.
