Officials say a targeted move could be possible and would not significantly extend the war, but analysts warn the mission would be highly complex and risky for US troops.

He noted she is “a little bit different” in her thinking, but that does not disqualify her from serving. Separately, the war’s trajectory has raised 2028 stakes as Trump weighs successors, with Vice President JD Vance taking a cautious line and Secretary of State Marco Rubio aligning with the hawkish stance, as discussions over Iran’s nuclear and missile programs and regional oil traffic continue.
