Trump weighs options for Iran's nuclear programme, keeps preemptive strikes on table: Report

Firstpost  

Amid fears that loss of allies and its own weakened state could lead Iran to develop nuclear weapons, the incoming Donald Trump administration is exploring various options to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, including preemptive strikes, according to a report US President-elect Donald Trump is weighing options to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon and a preemptive strike on Iranian nuclear facilities is on the table, according to a report. In such circumstances, the incoming Trump administration is exploring options to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, which range from ramped-up sanctions, sanctions combined with military pressure, to preemptive strikes to destroy nuclear facilities, according to Wall Street Journal. Under this approach, two people told the newspaper that Trump may ramp up military pressure on Iran by sending more US personnel, warplanes, and ships to West Asia and provide Israel —Iran’s archenemy— with advanced weapons such as bunker-busting bombs which would strengthen its firepower to hit Iranian nuclear facilities. The newspaper further reported that Israel now sees an opportunity for preemptive strikes to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities as Iran as well as allies in the region now stand considerably weakened.
