The President of United States, Donald Trump, is weighing an initial limited military strike on Iran, aimed at pressuring Tehran into accepting a nuclear deal, local media reports.

According to Local Reports, if authorised, the strike could come within days, targeting a few military or government sites, said the report.

The report added that if Iran still refused to comply with the U.S. nuclear demand, the Trump administration would respond with a broad campaign against Iranian government facilities, potentially aimed at toppling the Tehran regime.

“Trump hasn’t yet decided to order an attack at any scale, though he is considering options ranging from a weeklong campaign of attacks to force “regime change” to a smaller-scale wave of strikes targeting Iran’s government and military facilities.” It revealed.

Recall that President Trump told reporters that Iran has 10 to 15 days to reach a deal over its nuclear program, warning that otherwise really bad things would happen to the country, just as he refused to answer what the goal of a potential U.S. military strike.

“Regime change” in Iran is “the best thing that could happen,” the president said a week ago.

A Trump adviser has estimated a “90 per cent chance” of strikes within weeks if talks fail, Axios reported Wednesday, noting the U.S. raid could involve a large-scale, weeks-long campaign, potentially conducted jointly with Israel.
