YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe US military is prepared to strike Iran as early as this weekend, though President Donald Trump has yet to make a final decision on whether he’ll authorize such actions, sources familiar with the matter tell CNN. The White House has been briefed that the military could be ready for an attack by the weekend, after a significant buildup in recent days of air and naval assets in the Middle East, the sources said.
But one source cautioned that Trump has privately argued both for and against military action and polled advisers and allies on the best course of action.
