Trump admin to carry out preliminary attack plans on Iran — as officials consider what sites to target: report
NY Post ^ | 1/10/26 | Katherine Donlevy

Posted on 01/10/2026 12:03:27 PM PST by Libloather

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.

I'm pretty sure Iran will fall quickly if we enter through Greenland. Everyone wins.

I’m all for whatever Trump decides to do here, the stakes are high, but this might be the best opportunity ever to topple the regime. They have had it coming since 1979.

Obama stood back 15 or more years ago during protests. Guess he wasn’t that gung ho in the Jeffrey Epstein-Lindsey Graham Neocon camp.

This may be coming down so Netanyahu can use it to win the election get a pardon in Israel in the coming days as his corruption trial drags on.

Trump and Ursula von der Leyen both endorsing the riots on the streets of Iran burning down buildings killing members of law enforcement.

Aha. This is why the Post nearly simultaneously release details of the Venezuela attack:

“I’m sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States,” he said. “They have no idea what they’re capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They’re not to be messed with.”

Focusing the minds of the Mullahs and encouraging them to run. Wow!

I did not vote for this.

I voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024 because he pledged to keep us out of foreign military entanglements.

This is not America First.

Here’s an idea. Gather Dems together in a room and give them the plans but swear them to secrecy on their word of honor.
(I’m kidding.)

That’s what they wanted about Maduro.

The Supreme Court plans for their decision on Roe v Wade was leaked. Imagine anti-American Trump Deranged Dems with a military secret.

Agree.

Those Iranians carrying out wet garbage in the American flag during the US Embassy hostage where Americans were humiliated, blindfolded and threatened with death for 444 days, has never left my list of revenge topics.

Iran has been preaching Death to America since 1979. I doubt we will have a GOP POTUS and GOP House & Senate after Trump. They will rebuild their nuke program if they can. If this isn't a great time to fortify our future, when is?

It most certainly is America first, Iran has been a thorn in America’s side since 1979. Their support of terrorist groups has been a world problem, not to mention their pursuit of WMDs and threats and actions against our ally Israel.

This is the time. No boots on the ground, other than the boots on the few hundred men rappelling from choppers.

For Iran to fall and possibly be pro-u.s. (in terms of oil etc.) is a game-changer. China needs to be weakened. Russia is weakening itself.

We need control of Cuba, Panama, Columbia and Greenland.

Migration in the west will then need to be addressed by (more) force.

Whether it’s good or bad, the world is due for a major global conflict.

Based on history; We’ve had it too good, too long. Unfortunately.
