US Preparing to Strike Iran Within Days, Says Bloomberg

Despite the fluid stance of the US President regarding conflicts between Israel and Iran, which may still change, Bloomberg reveals that the US has begun preparations for airstrikes against Iran. The news agency, citing government officials, reports that these strikes could occur over the weekend. Earlier, the President hinted at possible US involvement, saying, “Maybe I will. Maybe I won’t. Nobody knows what I’ll do.” A Wall Street Journal report also disclosed that Donald Trump approved plans for a US military strike on Iran but has not yet given the final order, as he awaits whether Tehran will abandon its nuclear program, something Iran has explicitly ruled out. Hoping that the threat of US involvement in Israel’s attacks on Iran will compel Tehran to comply with demands, Trump stated he hasn’t made a final decision and convened an emergency meeting at the White House. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned against further military intervention, stating it could have massive global consequences. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin assured that Iran hasn’t requested military aid from Moscow, while affirming that Israeli aggression is uniting Iran’s population behind its leadership. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi emphasized Iran’s commitment to diplomacy but vowed to continue lawful defense. Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz announced the destruction of Iran’s main security headquarters in Tehran.
