Biden Administration Considered Iran Airstrike Plans Before Trump Inauguration

Reports reveal that National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan discussed potential preemptive strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities during Biden's final weeks in office.

President Biden's advisors, including Jake Sullivan, reportedly reviewed scenarios for airstrikes on Iran's nuclear sites in recent weeks, according to multiple sources.
The discussions were described as precautionary planning rather than active preparations for military action, with no new intelligence prompting the talks.
Iran's uranium enrichment has accelerated, nearing 60% purity, though U.S. intelligence suggests Iran has not decided to build a nuclear weapon.
Biden's team argued that Iran's weakened regional position might reduce the risk of retaliation, but critics warn that any strike could lead to prolonged conflict.
Congress has not authorized military action against Iran, raising concerns about the lack of public or legislative consultation on such a significant decision.
