Trump plans to attack Tehran for three more weeks despite a lack of targets. The remnants of Iran's ballistic missiles are securely hidden in fortified underground bunkers.

The Pentagon is running out of strategically important targets for strikes in Iran, although President Donald Trump insists that the US will continue to strike Tehran for another three weeks. This is reported by UNN with reference to Politico.

Details

According to the publication, the "new countdown" for Iran, which Trump announced in a recent address to the nation, leaves little room for the air strikes needed to destroy hidden ballistic missile stockpiles.

In his speech, Trump also stated that Iran's military forces, defense industrial base, and political leadership have been "absolutely destroyed" by a month of intense attacks from American aircraft and munitions.

At the same time, as the authors of the publication note, the problems are exacerbated by the fact that the Iranian regime is waging a war that is not so much tactical as economic.

The main problem is that without a ground invasion, access to Iranian military facilities is limited. In addition, the remaining stockpiles of Tehran's ballistic missiles are becoming increasingly difficult to hit, as those that remain are likely in fortified bunkers.

- said a former Trump administration official who wished to remain anonymous.

Recall

US President Donald Trump called on Iran to conclude a ceasefire agreement before "it's too late."

At the same time, more than 40 US allies are developing a "Plan B" for the Strait of Hormuz in case of an escalation of relations with US President Donald Trump.
