Trump’s White House is ready to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities, unnamed “senior figures” within the Australian government said to ABC news.
According to the new reporting from the Australian news service, the strike could happen as early as next month, and Australia and the U.K.—both part of the “Five Eyes” spying alliance— could lend a hand in identifying targets, the reporting adds.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, for his part, dismissed the report, saying, “It’s speculation, it is citing anonymous sources.”
News of the alleged bombing preparation caps off a week President Donald Trump began with an all-caps tweet to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
“NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!” he tweeted, following Rouhani’s warning for the U.S. not to “play with the lion’s tail” and saying, “Peace with Iran would be the mother of all peace and war with Iran would be the mother of all wars.”
