US President Donald Trump announced that he has extended the decision-making period regarding possible actions against Iran to 10-15 days. Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump said, “10-15 days, roughly the maximum time.”
Regarding the ongoing talks with Iran, Trump said, “We’re either going to make a deal, or it’s going to be unfortunate for them.” Earlier in the day, he had stated that he could clarify within 10 days whether a deal with Iran was possible.
President Trump, speaking at the opening meeting of the Board of Peace, said, “Maybe we’ll have to take another step forward, maybe we won’t. Maybe we’ll make a deal. You’ll find out in probably the next 10 days.”
According to U.S. officials and publicly available monitoring data, the Defense Department is sending additional military elements to the Middle East in anticipation of a possible military operation against Iran. The deployment reportedly includes additional warships, air defense systems, and submarines.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump has not yet made a final decision on an attack on Iran. However, the newspaper reported that if such authorization were given, the operation could take place within days.
According to reports, a possible limited attack could target military and government objectives in Iran.
