According to the source, "if the Iranian side wishes to avoid conflict, they need to offer something that will be hard to reject. They constantly miss such opportunities. If they continue to play games, our patience will run out."
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the final version of the proposal from Iran will be ready in the next two to three days.
According to the source, "the president has not yet made a final decision on a military strike. I am confident of this, as it has not happened yet. Perhaps he will never decide to do so."
He also noted that the Pentagon has proposed several strategies to Trump. "There are plans for any circumstances. One of them involves the elimination of the Ayatollah and his son, who is considered a possible successor," he said, referring to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
“Which option the president will choose remains a mystery. Even he probably does not know,” the source added.
Another source confirmed that the plan to eliminate Khamenei and his son was proposed to Trump several weeks ago.
At the moment, Iran is not engaged in uranium enrichment, as airstrikes in June significantly damaged centrifuges at its nuclear facilities. Ali Khamenei has previously emphasized that Iran will not give up its right to enrichment, which Tehran claims will be carried out exclusively for peaceful purposes. Donald Trump, for his part, has stated that Iran's uranium enrichment is unacceptable.
