President Donald Trump is set to meet with top military commanders to review new options related to Iran, according to reports from Axios and Bloomberg.
This development follows recent statements from Trump, who has indicated a lack of urgency in finalizing a peace deal with Iran.
The administration's approach has drawn attention from Gulf nations, which have previously called for a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing tensions.
The potential military review has sparked renewed scrutiny in financial markets, where investors are closely monitoring any signs of escalation.
While Trump has suggested the ongoing situation has had less of an impact on stocks and oil prices than anticipated, the possibility of renewed conflict remains a key risk factor for global markets.
The broader context includes recent diplomatic efforts and military posturing in the region.
