From Report: IDF preparing for possibility Trump will order strike on Iran
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Israeli army has been preparing in recent weeks for the possibility that US President Donald Trump will order a strike on Iran before leaving office, Axios reports.
Citing senior Israeli officials, the website notes that there is no specific information that such an attack is imminent, but leaders believe the US president’s final weeks in the job will be “a very sensitive period.”
Last week The New York Times reported that Trump convened top advisers earlier in the month and asked about options to strike Iranian nuclear sites during his last weeks in office.
The report said Trump was dissuaded with warnings it could lead to a wider conflict.
