A strike on Tehran? The alarming fallout America might face if Trump pulls the trigger
US president Donald Trump is reportedly on the verge of making one of the largest decisions of his political career, whether or not to join Israel in carrying out a military strike on Iran, as per a report. Donald Trump on the Edge of a Defining Decision When talking to reporters on Wednesday at the White House, Trump expressed that he had "ideas" regarding what he wanted to do but had not made his mind up, as per The Hill. The US president said, he likes 'to make a final decision one second before it's due," quoted The Hill. Strike Plans Signed, But Not Yet Ordered The Wall Street Journal reported later that day that the previous day, Trump had told senior aides he had signed off on plans to attack Iran but had not ordered those plans be put fully into motion until he saw whether Iran would abandon its nuclear program, reported The Hill. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Simple Morning Habit for a Flatter Belly After 50!

Destroying the facility would mostly be possible with the use of enormous 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs, which only the US possesses or has a plane capable of transporting them, the B-2 bomber, reported The Hill. Live Events MAGA Movement Divided on War Talk But Trump's decision to join Israel's ongoing war with Iran has led to a split within his movement of Make America Great Again (MAGA). Though many MAGA voices in Trump's party have shown support for America backing its Middle East ally, with figures like Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas), there are also Trump allies who are highly sceptical of such a potential decision, as per the report. The divide between his supporters was seen during a long and contentious interview between Cruz and Tucker Carlson on this topic, which went viral on Wednesday, reported The Hill. Carlson might be the most influential MAGA figure warning against the United States getting involved in another major foreign conflict after years of being mired in Iraq and Afghanistan, reported The Hill. FAQs Is the US about to go to war with Iran? Not yet, Trump has approved strike plans but is waiting to see if Iran will back down on its nuclear program before acting. What's Trump's position right now? He hasn't decided yet. He says he likes making decisions 'at the last second,' but he's seriously considering it.
