US military pushes Trump for strikes 80 km inside Iran; blockade focus reported

US military leadership is reportedly lobbying President Trump to authorize strikes up to 80 km deep into Iranian territory, while current operations focus on blockading Iranian ships and ports. The claim originates from TASS, a Russian state outlet, and is unverified by Western sources. If true, this marks a significant escalation in US-Iran confrontation, shifting from maritime interdiction to direct strikes on Iranian soil.
