US Military Told Mideast Ally That Trump Attack on Iran is ‘Imminent’: Report

Senior officials in the US military have told a key Middle East ally that President Donald Trump may strike Iran as soon as this weekend, as part of an operation that may seek to decapitate the Islamic Republic’s government, according to a report published Friday by Drop Site News.

While the Trump administration reportedly envisions attacks against nuclear, ballistic, and other military sites around Iran, a former senior US intelligence official who is acting as an informal advisor to Trump told the outlet: “This isn’t about the nukes or the missile program. This is about regime change.”

In the Oval Office on Friday, Trump told reporters that the US has a “large armada, flotilla, call it whatever you want, heading towards Iran right now.” He said that the armada was “larger than Venezuela,” referring to the buildup of ships leading up to the US invasion of the Latin American country earlier this month to overthrow its president, Nicolás Maduro.
