Donald Trump is reportedly ready to strike Iran "within hours" as the US President is rushed into a crisis meeting. Trump discussed with his top advisers at the White House on Wednesday the ongoing nuclear crisis with Iran, according to Axios. The advisors showed him options regarding nuclear talks with Iranian diplomats earlier this week in Geneva. The administration is the closest it has ever been to launching a major war against Iran, sources say.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Daily Mail: "It was a pre scheduled meeting to receive an update from Steve and Jared on the Iran talks. It was not a rushed crisis meeting."
It comes following Trump's recent order of the largest military build-up of firepower on Iran's border since the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
In the past few days, the US has started sending ultra-modern F-35 and F-22 jet fighters into the region. Other crafts include F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jets, F-15 and F-16 warplanes, and the KC-135 aerial refueling aircraft that are needed to sustain their operations. On Wednesday, Flightradar24 showed multiple KC-135s flying near or in the Middle East, as well as E3 Sentry airborne warning and control aircraft and cargo planes operating in the region, the Daily Mail reported.
Sources claimIsraelwould support the US in a joint military effort aimed at toppling toppling the Ayatollah's regime. On Thursday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk urged people to evacuate the country as it may no longer be possible in a matter of hours.
"Please leave Iran immediately... and do not go to this country under any circumstances," he said.
