US military is preparing for a possible attack on Iran, although Trump has not yet made a decision
"The U.S. military is prepared to attack Iran this weekend, although President Donald Trump has not yet made a final decision on whether to authorize such actions, CNN and The New York Times reported Thursday. The White House has been informed that the military could be ready for a strike, following a significant increase in air and naval assets in the Middle East in recent days, CNN said, citing sources familiar with the matter."
"Senior national security officials met at the White House on Wednesday to discuss the situation in Iran, according to a person familiar with the meeting. Trump was also briefed on Wednesday by special envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, about indirect talks with Iran held the previous day. At the time, it was unclear whether the U.S. president would make a decision before the weekend, the network reports. He's spending a lot of time thinking about this, a source said."
"According to The New York Times, the Israeli armed forces have also stepped up their preparations for a possible war, two Israeli defense sources told the newspaper, and is also preparing for a possible joint attack with the United States. Joint military exercises between Iran and Russia took place this Thursday in the Gulf of Oman.Iranian Army (via REUTERS) Israel's security cabinet plans to meet on Sunday,"
The U.S. military could be ready to strike Iran as early as this weekend after a significant increase in air and naval assets in the Middle East. President Donald Trump has not made a final decision and has privately argued both for and against military action. Senior national security officials convened at the White House and the president received briefings on indirect talks with Iran. Israeli armed forces have stepped up preparations and may plan a joint operation with the United States. Iran and Russia held joint exercises in the Gulf of Oman, and Israel's security cabinet plans to meet to consider a potential multi-day operation aimed at extracting further nuclear concessions.
