The world was shaken by the news of US President Donald Trump's decision to strike at the Iranian nuclear program. It turns out that this was not a simple spontaneous act - the Trump administration and the CIA had been secretly preparing for this step for a long time. A week before the final decision, Trump held daily briefings with the national security team, discussing strike options that could be crucial to the fate of three Iranian nuclear facilities.
Trump delayed the final decision until the last moment, discussing the possible consequences of the attack to ensure that the US would not get involved in a prolonged bloody war with Iran. Officials were confident in the American bombs' ability to penetrate bunkers, but feared the potential consequences of Iran's response, which could escalate the conflict. The uncertainty in this matter led to Trump's hesitations and a series of difficult decisions.
After extensive discussions and analyses of the possible consequences of striking Iran's nuclear program, US President Donald Trump decided to take action. This decision was largely the result of well-founded debates and careful preparations preceding the administration's reaction to Iran's nuclear facilities.Read also
