WSJ: Trump Has Approved Plans For Attacking Iran

ABC News reports:

Following a meeting in the Situation Room on Tuesday, President Donald Trump told top advisers that 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 told ABC News. The news of the attack plan approval was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

The New York Times reports:

The United States Embassy in Jerusalem is working on arranging flights and cruise ships for American citizens looking to leave Israel, the American ambassador, Mike Huckabee, announced on Wednesday, after days in which Americans trying to depart the country could not get evacuation assistance from the embassy.

The announcement came as the conflict between Israel and Iran continued for a sixth day and fears grew that the United States could more directly enter the conflict.

Israel and Iran have closed their airspaces since the fighting began, leaving foreigners visiting those countries scrambling to find avenues to leave by land or sea as governments around the world have issued travel warnings and urged their citizens to return home.

Remember when Trump repeatedly predicted “World War III” if Biden or Harris were elected?
