According to sources, CBS reported that multiple sources have indicated that US President Trump has weighed the pros and cons of bombing Iran's most secure nuclear facility, Fordow. His thinking is that destroying the facility is necessary due to the risk of weapon production in a relatively short period of time. One source stated that Trump believes there are not many options and completing the mission means destroying Fordow. On Wednesday, a senior intelligence source and Defense Department official stated that Trump approved a strike plan against Iran on Tuesday night, but has not made a final decision on whether to strike the country and formally join Israel's airstrike operation. Sources say Trump is willing to involve the US in the strike if it is necessary to destroy the facility. As of Thursday morning, he is still considering his options and has not made a definitive decision. Sources say one option Trump has considered is that Iran could voluntarily shut down Fordow if Iranian leaders are willing.
