Trump has discussed timeline for potential Iran strikes, sources say

President Trump has discussed potential military strikes on Iran as early as this weekend, though no final decision has been made according to sources familiar with the matter. The discussions reportedly took place at the White House amid escalating tensions between the United States and Iran following recent provocations in the Middle East. The potential strike plans come after a series of incidents that have heightened tensions between the two nations, including attacks on shipping vessels in the Persian Gulf, the downing of a US drone by Iranian forces, and alleged Iranian plots against American interests in the region. While President Trump has consistently taken a hardline stance against Iran's nuclear program and support for proxy groups, the administration has not specified what might trigger military action at this time. National security officials have reportedly presented the president with various options, ranging from limited strikes to more significant military responses, with the discussions involving top military and diplomatic advisors.
