Sources: Trump has not yet made a final decision on striking Iran.

On June 20, CBS reported that U.S. President Donald Trump had learned about the pros and cons of bombing Iran’s safest nuclear facility, Fordor, and that he thought that the destruction of the facility was necessary due to the risk of producing weapons in a relatively short period of time. One source said: “Trump doesn’t see much of a choice. Accomplishing the mission means destroying Fordor.” On Wednesday, a senior intelligence source and Defense Department official said Trump approved plans for an attack on Iran on Tuesday night, but had not yet made a final decision on whether to attack the country and formally join Israel’s airstrikes. According to the source, Trump is willing to involve the United States in the strike if this is what is needed to destroy the facility. As of Thursday morning, he was still considering his options and had not yet made a clear decision. One option that Trump has considered is that Iran could shut down Fordo on its own if its leaders want to, the sources said.
