US President Donald Trump has rejected a report by The Wall Street Journal that he approved military plans for strikes on Iran but is currently holding off on issuing the final order.
According to the WSJ, Trump allegedly told senior aides he would wait to see whether Tehran abandons its nuclear program before proceeding, citing sources familiar with the internal discussions.
However, Trump issued a brief rebuttal on his social media platform, Truth Social, writing:
“The Wall Street Journal has No Idea what my thoughts are concerning Iran.”
Earlier, the WSJ report stated that Trump informed senior advisers on Tuesday night that he had greenlighted the plan but wanted to wait and see if Iran would step back from its nuclear ambitions before taking further action.
One of the potential targets, the report added, is Iran's underground nuclear facility in Fordo, located deep within a mountain. Military experts suggest that such a site could only be effectively hit using a powerful, bunker-busting bomb.
When asked on Wednesday about the possibility of attacking Iran’s nuclear sites, President Trump gave a cryptic response, “I can’t say whether the United States will attack Iran’s nuclear facilities or not. We’ll see what happens. I may do it, I may not do it.”
