Military Action Against Iran Will Be a ‘Real Possibility’ Under Trump
Military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities will be a “real possibility” under the incoming Trump administration, Axios reported on Monday.
The report said Trump is expected to face an Iran crisis this year due to the country’s nuclear activity, although there is no evidence Iran has decided to build a nuclear weapon, something that’s recently been acknowledged by the CIA.
Incoming Trump officials have called for a return to “maximum pressure,” referring to the previous Trump administration’s Iran policy, which involved withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA, imposing crippling economic sanctions, and assassinating Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
