U.S. officials don't expect Trump to take any dramatic steps during his trip to China, but think he could make his next move immediately afterward, Axios reports.
U.S. officials say one option is to resume "Project Freedom," with the Navy attempting to break the logjam in the Strait of Hormuz.
Another is to launch a new bombing campaign focusing on Iranian infrastructure, as Trump has repeatedly threatened.
Israeli officials say they'll be on high alert this weekend in case Trump decides to resume the war. Any such operation would take place in coordination with the Israeli military, the officials say.
