Washington, Feb 19 (V7N) — The US military may be prepared to launch a strike on Iran by the end of this week, but President Donald Trump has not made a final decision, according to multiple sources cited by CNN.

Key Details

  • The US has deployed significant air and naval forces to the Middle East in recent days in preparation for a possible strike.

  • Trump is personally weighing the pros and cons of military action while seeking advice from top national security officials and international allies.

  • Indirect talks with Iran took place in Geneva on Tuesday, lasting three and a half hours. While a “guiding principle” was agreed upon, many details remain unresolved.

  • White House officials emphasize that diplomacy remains the first choice, though military action is being kept on the table.

  • Key advisers, including special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner, briefed Trump on the Geneva talks.

The coming days will be critical in determining whether diplomacy will prevail or the situation escalates to military action.
