President Trump has privately approved U.S. military strike plans on Iran, according to a Wall Street Journal report. While the final order hasn’t been issued, sources say the president authorized operations targeting Iran’s fortified Fordow nuclear facility.
The move signals a major escalation behind closed doors, even as Trump publicly maintains ambiguity. Officials say the delay is strategic — intended to pressure Tehran into halting its nuclear program before strikes begin.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has reinforced its regional presence with two carrier strike groups and evacuation ops underway in Israel. Congress and key allies have been briefed.
This is no longer a hypothetical. The U.S. is on standby.
