President Donald Trump is weighing a possible U.S. attack on Iran, saying Wednesday he hasn’t made a final decision on whether to get involved in the country’s conflict with Israel.

Trump has held several meetings in the White House Situation Room this week with senior advisers.

“I may do it. I may not do it,” he said Wednesday. “Nobody knows what I’m going to do.”

Trump Leaning Toward Attacking Iranian Nuclear Facility But Has Questions: Reports
Trump is getting more comfortable with the idea of helping take out Iran's most heavily guarded nuclear facility, according to an ABC News report, but he has concerns about whether the United States' 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs can do the job, Axios reported.
A source familiar with Trump's thinking told ABC News he's warming to the idea of helping Israel destroy Iran's Fordow uranium enrichment plant, saying there's movement toward preparing for such an attack.
But Trump has reportedly been asking his military advisors whether the bunker-buster he'd be supplying would take out the facility. Pentagon officials have told Trump they're confident it would, an official told Axios, but Trump appears unconvinced.
