Trumps Possible Strike on Iran's Horizon: Insights and Rumors
U.S. readies for impending military action against Iran
In a turn of events, it seems that the US could be gearing up for a confrontation with Iran. High-ranking officials from the US government are reportedly readying themselves for a potential strike against Iran in the near future, as per reports from Bloomberg. This potential conflict comes amidst the ongoing Israeli war against Iran.
According to the report, US President Donald Trump has approved the attack plans, but he's holding off on giving the go-ahead. Top officials from several US federal agencies have begun preparations for an attack, with some sources suggesting that the strike could happen as early as this weekend. However, the situation is volatile and subject to change.
The Fordo nuclear facility may be the target of the impending strike. Located 90 meters deep in a mountain, this facility is considered nearly indestructible. Only a few bombs or missiles could potentially reach the facility, as experts agree. John Bolton, Trump's former national security advisor, believes that the Israelis alone wouldn't be able to attack Fordo. He stated that the US would have to intervene if they suspected work on a potential atomic bomb at that location.
Trump has been ambiguous about his stance, stating, "Maybe I will, maybe I won't." During his campaign, he appeared more restrained, promising that the US would avoid further wars under his leadership. However, people close to Trump have now warned him about the danger posed by a nuclear Iran, leading to a change in his thinking. Trump has vocalized his desire for "total, complete victory" over Iran, but Ayatollah Ali Chamenei, Iran's leader, seems unyielding. "The Iranian nation is determined and will resist both an imposed war and an imposed peace," Chamenei said.
Insights into the Situation:
- As of June 19, 2025, the US is actively considering military action against Iran, with the Fordo nuclear enrichment facility as a possible target. However, no final decision or direct engagement order has yet been issued by President Donald Trump.
- The Trump administration has not directly participated in Israeli strikes on Iran so far, but Trump is now seriously considering joining these attacks. The degradation of Iran’s air defense capabilities, due to Israeli airstrikes, is likely intended to facilitate deeper strikes into Iranian territory.
- President Trump has publicly indicated he has plans or ideas on how to respond militarily but prefers to make the final decision at the last moment due to the fluidity of the situation. He has given a green light to attack plans in principle but has not yet issued a formal attack order.
- Iran has responded with strong warnings against U.S. and Israeli military intervention, threatening severe reprisals and stating it will never surrender despite mounting losses.

- The Commission, involved in the preparation of the draft budget for the European Union, has expressed concerns over the potential escalation of war-and-conflicts in the Middle East, specifically the ongoing confrontation between the US and Iran, which recently made headlines in the general news.
- In response to the political tension between the US and Iran, and the possibility of a military strike, some European Union member states are calling for increased diplomacy and dialogue to avoid further conflicts and maintain regional peace and stability.
