DONALD Trump has reportedly approved US airstrikes on Iran and is now waiting to give the final order to attack.
The US president’s pause comes as he has declared he will now only accept a “total and complete victory” against Iran and is no longer interested in a ceasefire.
Trump has settled on a plan to drop bombs on nuke sites, people familiar with the matter have said.
But he is yet to give the green light and is holding off to see if the evil regime will agree to abandon its nuke program, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Tehran has already warned the US will only be sparking an “all out war” in the Middle East if they join Israel and attack them.
The UK is yet to declare whether it would stand with the US should Trump decide to go ahead with military action.
But Sir Keir Starmer has been warned by Attorney General Lord Hermer that the UK’s involvement could be illegal.
It comes as Sir Keir held a Cobra crisis meeting on Wednesday with a potential US-led strike reportedly being discussed.
Trump has become heavily involved in the conflict over the last 48 hours with him speaking on the potential airstrikes from the White House as he said: “I may do it, I may not do it.”
It is believed that the US may choose to first attack Iran’s Fordow nuclear development area, according to the Telegraph.
This would likely be done by a fearsome 15-ton mega bomb known as a Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bomb that can penetrate deep inside the ground before blowing up.
Speaking to reporters from the Oval Office Trump did say the US is the only nation capable of blitzing the key nuke site.
But he added: “That doesn’t mean I’m going to do it – at all.”
Trump also gave a two-word warning to Iran‘s Supreme Leader after he revealed Tehran was trying to run back to the negotiating table since the conflict broke out.
When a White House reporter asked Trump about Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s declaration that he will “never surrender”, Trump simply responded: “Good luck.”
Trump even directly threatened Khamenei as he said the US knows where he is hiding but will not kill him “for now”.
Khamenei responded by saying: “The battle begins.”
“This nation will never surrender,” he said in a speech read on state television.
“America should know that any military intervention will undoubtedly result in irreparable damage.”
US officials indicated the next 24 to 48 hours will be crucial in determining whether diplomacy could ever be achieved with Iran, ABC News reports.
It comes as warmongering Russia ironically warned the world sits “on the brink of catastrophe” as the raging Middle East conflict entered day six.
