Caption: Tensions Soar as Trump Considers Strike on Iran. President Donald Trump has authorized military strike plans against Iran's Fordo uranium enrichment site but has yet to commit, reports CBS News. Trump is delaying action to see if Iran will abandon its nuclear program — a move Tehran has rebuffed. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei said, "The Iranian nation will not surrender," warning any U.S. intervention would be costly. When pressed, Trump replied, "I may do it, I may not do it," keeping his options open. Meanwhile, Israel has carried out strikes on Iranian missile and nuclear facilities and Iran claims to have retaliated with hypersonic missile launches — no major damage has been confirmed. Iran's UN mission slammed Trump online, labelling him a "has‑been warmonger," and insisting Iran won't negotiate under duress.
