Washington, June 19 (V7N) — US President Donald Trump has approved a military attack plan targeting Iran, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal on Thursday, citing confidential sources.

The report revealed that Trump informed top officials of his decision on Tuesday but has yet to give the final order for the operation. The President is reportedly waiting to see if Iran will abandon its nuclear program before proceeding.

The potential strike is expected to focus on Iran’s highly secure Fordow nuclear facility. This development comes amid an increase in US military presence in the Middle East, as previously announced by the Pentagon.
