Trump OK'd attack plan but gauging if Iran will drop nuclear program - WSJ
US President Donald Trump informed his inner circle late on Tuesday that he had approved an attack plan on Iran but was holding off to see if Iran could be persuaded to give up its nuclear program, the Wall Street Journal reported citing three people familiar with the matter.
The threat to join Israel's attacks on the Islamic Republic was part of Trump's push for Tehran to make concessions, the newspaper quoted the sources as saying.
Multiple US options were on the table, a White House official cited by the paper said, and the president was monitoring how Israel was conducting its campaign.
