Reports say move could come this weekend as White House urges Iran to ‘make a deal’ with Trump on nuclear program
The US military is ready for possible strikes on Iran as soon as this weekend, multiple news outlets reported Wednesday, citing unnamed sources.
However, the reports said, Donald Trump has yet to make a final decision on whether to carry out an attack. Trump has repeatedly demanded Iran cease its nuclear program and has warned he intends to use force if no deal is reached.
According to the New York Times, CBS News, and CNN, the US military has assembled sufficient air and naval resources in the Middle East to launch an attack in the coming days.
Reuters, citing an unnamed senior US official, offered a slightly different timeline, reporting that top US national security advisers were told during a meeting in the White House Situation Room on Wednesday that all US military forces deployed to the region should be in place by mid-March
