The Jerusalem Post reported on Tuesday that the Trump administration came close to authorizing a strike on Iran. Citing unnamed sources, the newspaper said the administration was 'very close' to approving such action on at least one occasion. The report does not identify when this near-decision took place or which officials took part. It also gives no details about a possible target or the military response that was considered. Any account of the deliberations remains attributed to the sources cited by The Jerusalem Post, rather than to an official announcement. The report did not say that a strike was ultimately ordered or carried out. It also did not say whether the administration abandoned the option or continued discussions with allies, and no official confirmation of a planned strike was cited.
