Following a meeting in the Situation Room on Tuesday, President Donald Trump told top advisers he approved of attack plans for Iran that were presented to him, but said he was waiting to see if Iran would be willing to discuss ending their nuclear program, sources familiar with the matter said.
The news of the attack plan approval was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Trump has not made any final decision on U.S. involvement and while the attack plans are ready to go, he has yet to decide whether to give a final order and go through with them.
President Trump on Wednesday afternoon wrapped another meeting in the Situation Room with his national security team.
It would be expected that the president would be presented with attack plans for approval in the Situation Room while considering whether to enter the conflict.
