Dhaka, June 19, 2025: According to a Bloomberg report cited by The Times of Israel on Thursday, June 19, senior US officials are preparing for a possible military strike on Iran, potentially as early as this weekend. Sources familiar with the matter have indicated that the situation remains fluid and plans could still change.
The report states that while US President Donald Trump has personally approved plans for a potential military strike on Iran, he has not yet given final orders. Sources close to the White House revealed that Trump is waiting to see if Tehran will abandon its nuclear program before proceeding. Speaking to reporters, Trump said, “I might do it, or I might not. The next week will be very important, maybe even sooner.”
Analysts suggest that Iran’s heavily fortified nuclear facilities, such as the Fordow enrichment plant, could be a primary target. Located beneath a mountain, Fordow is highly secure, requiring specialized “bunker-buster” bombs to cause significant damage.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a stern warning, stating, “We will never surrender. Any US military aggression will result in severe and irreparable consequences.”
