United States President Donald Trump has secretly approved plans for Washington to conduct a direct attack on Iran. The ruler has yet to give the order to proceed, but Tehran has already warned that any military intervention by Washington will be met with “irreparable damage” to the U.S.
Trump told the press on Wednesday that he has “ideas on what to do,” but has not made “the final decision.” Earlier this week, the president said that U.S. jets have unchallenged supremacy in Iranian airspace, according to a report by RT. He also claimed that killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei would be “easy” and demanded Tehran’s “unconditional surrender.”
