Report: Pentagon is emailing military experts and asking best way to 'punish' Iran The Trump administration seems to be struggling to figure out how to get out of its self-made Iran quagmire. According to a CNN report on Monday, the US military is now crowdsourcing ideas among military experts for what to do next in order to push Iran into a deal that is to President Donald Trump's liking. "We are looking for new creative and unconventional ways to pressure and punish Iran," an email from an officer in US Central Command's (Centcom) intelligence branch read last week, according to the CNN report.
