As President Donald Trump considers whether to green-light airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, he is increasingly shunning the isolationist advisers he brought into his cabinet — and those who helped get him elected to a second term — in favor of a trio of hawkish voices who’ve spent years arguing for the United States to take action against Iran.
The president has publicly maintained that “nobody knows what I'm going to do” about whether American stealth bombers could be dispatched to drop a 30,000-pound bunker-buster bomb onto Iran’s Fordow enrichment facility, located deep inside a mountain near the city of Qom.
