US President Donald Trump is considering launching preliminary limited strikes on Iran with the aim of forcing the Islamic Republic to agree to his demands for a nuclear deal, according to the Wall Street Journal, stopping short of a full-scale attack that could trigger a major Iranian military response.
Citing people familiar with the matter, the US newspaper says the initial strikes could occur within days if ultimately okayed by Trump, with the attack targeting several military or government sites. If Iran still continues to reject Trump’s demand to give up its enrichment program, the report says the US will then broaden its military offensive to include regime targets, with the possible goal of removing it from power.
One source quoted in the report says Trump could start with more limited strikes before ramping them up until the regime either agrees to disassemble its nuclear program or is toppled.
Iran tells UN chief that all Mideast assets of ‘hostile force’ are fair game if US attacks
Iran tells UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that Tehran will consider bases, facilities and assets of the “hostile force” in the region as legitimate targets if it faces military aggression.
US President Donald Trump’s rhetoric toward Iran “signals a real risk of military aggression,” Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations says in the letter, adding Iran does not want a war.
Iran will respond “decisively” if subjected to military aggression, the letter says.
Trump should know targeted attack won’t change things nor will it get the leadership of Israel off his back. The leaders of Israel probably want a full blown invasion with American troops on the ground. Full blown invasion is probably the only way to change the status quo and Trump is not likely on board with that idea. The leadership of Israel probably have the means to force his hand if they want too. Prophecy would suggest Iran as it is stays intact for the final battle. Things appear to be lining up with the leadership of Israel pointing out Turkey as the next Iran. Bad blood all around in that area of the planet. Could erupt at moment. All over such a tiny plot of land pretty much worthless other than the significance of GOD and his SON choosing that location as a place of importance. Giving humanity salvation and words to live by. Yet, it seems very few in that area take his or his SON’s words seriously.
