Trump plans to escalate military operations against Iran, sources say

President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to escalate military operations against Iran under a new initiative called "Operation Sledgehammer." This move is designed to reset the 60-day authorization window mandated by the War Powers Resolution, effectively circumventing the need for Congressional approval to continue hostilities. Internal CIA assessments suggest that previous strikes, such as "Operation Midnight Hammer," were far less effective than the administration claimed, with Iran having regained most of its missile and nuclear capabilities. For investors, this potential escalation poses risks to global oil supply chains, which could impact energy-sensitive markets like crypto mining while increasing the volatility of assets in conflict-impacted regions.
