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.
