U.S. Central Command chief Adm. Brad Cooper briefed President Trump on Thursday on potential military options in Iran. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine was present.
• The briefing came as U.S. and Iranian officials held indirect talks in Geneva on Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs. No deal was announced; Iran’s foreign minister said progress was made and that technical talks will resume in Vienna next week.
• Trump is weighing options ranging from limited strikes on ballistic missile launchers and nuclear sites to a broader sustained operation targeting a larger number of sites.
