The Trump administration is reportedly preparing preliminary plans for an attack on Iran, including the option of large-scale airstrikes.

Officials are considering how to follow through on President Trump’s recent elevated threats against the Islamic Republic, including what sites might be targeted, insiders told the Wall Street Journal.

A massive aerial strike campaign on multiple Iranian military targets is one option being considered — although Washington has not reached consensus on a plan of action.

No military equipment or personnel have been moved for a potential attack, the insiders said.

The conversations do not indicate that the US will strike, with the sources explaining that the planning is routine.

However, Trump seemed to confirm that the US was gearing up to retaliate should Tehran continue killing protesters in a post on Truth Social.

Trump, however, teased that the US was gearing up to retaliate should Tehran continue killing protesters in a post on Truth Social.

“Iran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before,” he wrote Saturday. “The USA stands ready to help!!!”

A US attack on Iran would not be unprecedented — Trump ordered the first-ever US strike on Iranian territory back in June.

From the embassy takeover, to the Beirut barracks bombing, to aid to the enemy in Iraq particularly In providing IEDs, and a hundred other examples, they have the blood of thousands of Americans on their hands. They’ve been asking for it and they’ve had it coming for closing in on 50 years, and I am fully game for revenge

Close to everything Trump raging about the Norwegian Nobel Committee not giving him the Nobel Peace Prize.

He just called the committee decision ‘shameful’ when Marina Corina Machado broached the notion of a shared peace prize.

Norway you must understand is a nation at the top of Netanyahu’s poop list.

Norway, Ireland and Spain in the top echelon of European nations that have recognized the State of Palestine.
