        "content": "<p>The Pentagon is reportedly seeking new ways to increase pressure on\nIran as Washington pushes to reach a deal with Tehran. A CNN report,\nciting a source within US Central Command, said the military is\nconsidering various approaches. \u201cWe are looking for new, creative, and\nunconventional ways to pressure and punish Iran,\u201d the message from a\nCENTCOM intelligence official stated. Another source said CENTCOM is\nreviewing all available options while reassessing its current strategy.\n\u201cAt the end of the day, POTUS wants a deal, so he will continue to look\nfor ways to be tough while also getting out of this situation,\u201d the\nsource added. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine\npreviously stated that airstrikes alone have a limited impact. He also\nwarned President Donald Trump about the dwindling supply of air defence\ninterceptor missiles, which he assessed could pose a serious risk to\nnational security. According to the CNN report, the CIA and US military\nintelligence have concluded that a strike on Iran would not change\nTehran\u2019s negotiating position. On Sunday, Trump said Washington had\ncalled off a planned strike on Iran the previous weekend but remained\nready to launch military operations at any time. Trump also mentioned\nthat bilateral talks are scheduled for 3 August, though he provided no\nfurther details on the agenda.<\/p>",
