Trump admin weighing preliminary attack plans on Iran — as officials consider what sites to target: report

The Trump administration is reportedly preparing preliminary plans for an attack on Iran, including the option of large-scale airstrikes.

Officials are considering how to follow through on President Trump’s recent elevated threats against the Islamic Republic, including what sites might be targeted, insiders told the Wall Street Journal.

A massive aerial strike campaign on multiple Iranian military targets is one option being considered — although Washington has not reached consensus on a plan of action.

The conversations do not indicate that the US will strike, with the sources explaining that the planning is routine.

“Iran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before,” he wrote Saturday. “The USA stands ready to help!!!”

A US attack on Iran would not be unprecedented — Trump ordered the first-ever US strike on Iranian territory back in June.

The US dropped at least six “bunker buster” bombs across three sites, including Iran’s Fordow nuclear enrichment plant, a deeply fortififed facility hidden nearly 300 feet beneath a mountain.

The bombing came after Iran threatened to use its nuclear muscle against Israel during their 12-Day War, and was coordinated with the Jewish state’s own extensive attacks on Tehran’s military infrastructure.

The US military’s threat to intervene follows repeated warnings by Trump that the Washington would repsond in support of protestors should the Iranian regime continue to show violence against its civilians.

“You better not start shooting because we’ll start shooting too,” Trump warned Friday.

In response, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused Trump of having hands “stained with the blood of Iranians” in remarks aired Friday.

“[The terrorists] are ruining their own streets … in order to please the president of the United States because he said that he would come to their aid,” Khamenei told a crowd of supporters shouting “Death to America!”

“He should pay attention to the state of his own country instead.”

On Saturday, Iran threatened that protesters — and anyone who provides aid to protesters — would be considered “enemies of God” — a crime that carries a death penalty charge.

The death toll across Iran has risen to at least 65, with 50 being protesters — though fears are growing that the true total is beyond 200.
