Donald Trump is considering an attack on Iran

A decision to carry out the attack has not yet been made. Several strike options are under consideration. Some US officials and analysts warn against taking such action. In the event of Iranian retaliation, there is a risk of drawing the United States into a war in the Middle East and endangering regional allies. It is worth noting, however, that following the US strike on Iran’s nuclear arsenal on June 22, 2025, Iran was unable to mount a significant counterattack.

The US side has stated explicitly that if Iran does not cease uranium enrichment, the United States will launch a campaign targeting the regime and bring about a change of power in the country. On February 19, Donald Trump announced that a decision would be made within ten days. “We will reach an agreement—or achieve it one way or another,” the president emphasized.

The United States is prepared to carry out the attack. In recent days, the country’s military presence in the region has increased. CBS News reported on Wednesday that, at the Pentagon’s direction, part of the local staff had been relocated to Europe and the United States. In addition, decision-makers in several countries are urging their citizens to leave Iran.

The situation in Iran is serious. If the negotiating parties fail to reach an agreement, a US military intervention should be expected. In such a case, Iran is likely to retaliate, potentially striking Israel. Israel, however, is prepared for such a scenario, and American and Israeli intelligence services remain in constant contact, sharing intelligence data. It is also worth mentioning the internal situation in Iran. Recently, the country has been struggling with a wave of protests and social unrest. Many Iranian citizens are not opposed to a potential US intervention.
