President Donald Trump is reportedly assessing the possibility of authorizing a limited military strike against Iran to compel the nation into negotiations for a nuclear agreement. This information comes from an article published by 'The Wall Street Journal' on Thursday. The operation could potentially take place in the coming days, with U.S. media indicating that military action could be actionable by Saturday, pending Trump's final approval.

The report suggests that Trump might opt for a smaller scale bombing campaign to minimize risks of triggering a significant retaliatory response from Tehran. The White House is reportedly considering targeting specific military or governmental sites within Iran, utilizing the strike as a strategic pressure tactic to expedite negotiations aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear program. A limited strike could also create leverage for the U.S. in securing a more favorable treaty.

As tensions continue to rise, the potential military strike represents a significant escalation of U.S. involvement in Middle Eastern conflicts. The implications of such an attack would likely reverberate across international relations, especially concerning Iran's response and the broader geopolitical dynamics in the region, as other nations would closely monitor how the U.S. actions might affect stability and security in the Middle East.
