Trump considering strategies to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions, including preemptive strikes 

US President-elect Donald Trump is deliberating various strategies to thwart Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, which may include preemptive airstrikes, as reported by The Wall Street Journal on Friday. 


This revelation coincides with reports that Israel is formulating contingency plans for a possible assault on Iranian nuclear sites, driven by escalating fears that the Islamic Republic, on the brink of creating a bomb, might expedite its efforts; Iran and its allied forces are currently diminished following over a year of conflict against Israel that was ignited when the Hamas militant organization in Gaza launched an offensive against the Jewish state on October 7, 2023. 


Trump has communicated to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during recent discussions that he wishes to avert an Iranian breakthrough during his administration, as the report indicated—while searching for a way to prevent the Islamic Republic from attaining nuclear capability that does not provoke a new conflict, particularly one involving US military personnel, according to the report citing transition officials. The incoming government is presently developing a “maximum pressure 2.0” initiative, the report stated, aiming to resurrect the aggressive sanctions policy on Iran that Trump implemented during his initial term after withdrawing from the Obama-era agreement designed to curtail its nuclear ambitions in exchange for relief from sanctions. 


Individuals familiar with the strategy informed the Journal that several distinct military pressure methods could potentially be employed to deter Tehran.
