Trump approves Iran strike plans, final decision still pending
U.S. President Donald Trump has approved military strike plans targeting Iran, though he has yet to make a final decision on whether to move forward, according to a CBS News report citing a senior intelligence source.
The report indicates that Trump delayed action to allow Iran a final chance to scale back its nuclear ambitions. Among the potential targets is the Fordo facility—an underground uranium enrichment site seen as central to Iran’s nuclear program.
This development comes amid rising tensions following a defiant statement from Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who rejected Trump’s call for unconditional surrender on Wednesday. Trump, in turn, said his “patience had run out,” though he remained ambiguous about potential military involvement, stating: “I may do it, I may not do it.”
With no confirmed timeline or scope for a strike, the situation remains fluid. Diplomatic efforts to prevent escalation are still underway, with European officials scheduled to meet Iranian representatives in Geneva on Friday to explore peaceful resolutions.
