1.1. White House on the Brink of a Decision
The administration has publicly declared its intent to decide on U.S. military action in the Israel-Iran conflict within two weeks, placing the nation on a high-stakes countdown [1]. President Trump has personally signaled the gravity of the situation, identifying the disabling of Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility as a necessary objective [2]. While the President now publicly denies reports that he has already approved specific US attack plans [3], this follows earlier reporting that a set of plans had been greenlit but not yet executed [4]. Most alarmingly, one report claims the White House is contemplating the use of nuclear weapons against Iran [5]. In a direct statement, the President added to the uncertainty, saying he “may or may not” strike Iran [6].
