US holds preliminary talks on a possible attack on Iran, WSJ reports

The US administration is reportedly assessing military options after repeated warnings from President Donald Trump

The US administration has reportedly opened preliminary talks on a possible attack on Iran, following repeated public warnings from President Donald Trump that the Islamic Republic could face military consequences if the regime kills protesters. The information was reported by the Wall Street Journal, citing sources familiar with the matter.

According to the newspaper, internal discussions have focused on the selection of potential military targets and on evaluating different operational scenarios. Among the options being examined is the possibility of a large-scale air strike. However, officials stressed that the conversations remain at an early and exploratory stage.

Sources quoted by the Wall Street Journal underlined that there are currently no signs of an imminent military move. No assets or personnel have been mobilized, and no operational preparations are underway, indicating that preliminary talks on a possible attack on Iran are still limited to internal assessments.

The reported exchanges come amid escalating political rhetoric from President Trump, who has repeatedly warned Tehran of serious consequences if security forces use lethal force against demonstrators. Despite the strong language, the absence of logistical activity suggests that the administration is keeping its options under review without moving toward immediate execution.

At this stage, decision-makers appear focused on scenario planning rather than action, confirming that preliminary talks on a possible attack on Iran do not currently point to an imminent military operation.
