The US considered a preemptive strike on IraThe media learned from its insiders that negotiations on this matter took place during a meeting a few weeks ago, which until now had been kept secret.Joe Biden did not support Sullivans idea, although he discussed various options and scenarios.
To date, the US president has not been able to make any final decision.According to an anonymous source, these secret negotiations were not the result of new intelligence.
The meeting was part of a discussion of prudent scenario planning for how the US should respond if Iran takes steps such as enriching uranium to 90 purity by January 20.
Interestingly, some insiders in Bidens entourage claim that new provocations from Tehran could push the US president to launch a strike.What is Iran up toOfficial Tehran has long denied that it intends to create nuclear weapons and has publicly lied that its nuclear program is exclusively for civilian purposes.Despite this, the current and former authorities have recently announced the possibility of changing Irans nuclear doctrine.
Irans nuclear program has advanced significantly during Bidens presidency, giving Iran the de facto status of a nuclear threshold state.
What is important to understand is that the country has already managed to increase its uranium enrichment level to 60, which is quite close to the 90 level required for the production of nuclear weapons.It is possible that modern Iranian centrifuges could achieve this in a matter of days.The IAEA recently warned that Tehran has enough 60 enriched uranium to create 4 nuclear bombs.
