US President Donald Trump has not yet decided whether the US could join Israel in carrying out attacks on Iran’s nuclear and military programs, White House officials tell the Wall Street Journal.

The officials say a strike was one of several options discussed at a meeting between Trump and his national security team.

The report says that Trump is still hoping that the threat of US military action will lead to Iran agreeing to US demands in nuclear talks.
