Iran Israel war: Is Donald Trump ordering attack in Tehran, Fordo nuclear facility tonight?

Will the USA join Israel against Iran in the ongoing conflict directly? When will Donald Trump order attack in Iran? These two questions have become frequently asked ones on the social media. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday said that the Pentagon was providing options to President Trump as he decides next steps on Iran. However, Hegseth did not divulge details whether the military was planning to assist with Israeli strikes, an action that could risk dragging America into a wider war in the Middle East, as per a report.

Options for Donald Trump

Hegseth said the U.S. military was readying options for Trump, noting that it’s his job to provide the president with options and what the ramifications could be, AP reported.


Meanwhile, President Trump on Wednesday didn't reveal whether he has decided to order a U.S. strike on Iran, a move that Tehran warned anew would be greeted with stiff retaliation. "I may do it, I may not do it," Trump told reporters at the White House. “I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do,” the US President says.

Israel has struck multiple Iranian nuclear facilities in the past several days, but one of its key uranium production sites, Fordo, requires the deep penetrating munition from the U.S.

Will USA Join Israel-Iran War?

In questioning before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Hegseth said “maximum force protection" was being provided for U.S. troops in the Middle East and that it is Trump’s decision whether to provide Israel a ”bunker buster" bomb to strike at the core of Iran's nuclear program, which would require U.S. pilots flying a B-2 stealth bomber. He would not indicate what the U.S. may do next.

“They should have made a deal. President Trump’s word means something — the world understands that," Hegseth said of Trump pressing Iran to agree to a deal during U.S. talks over Tehran's rapidly developing nuclear program.

"And at the Defense Department, our job is to stand ready and prepared with options. And that’s precisely what we’re doing,” Hegseth said.
