The American newspaper has claimed that despite contradictory signals regarding an attack on Iran, preparations for war from the US side continue. The US newspaper The Wall Street Journal states that the US is preparing for a possible attack on Iran. According to the report, US officials warned President Donald Trump that a major attack on Iran would not harm the Iranian government. According to a US official, an attack on Iran risks a broader war in the region; limited strikes could boost protesters’ morale but would not stop the oppression. On the other hand, according to a British newspaper, US officials warned the president that due to limited military options and operational capabilities, the US military is not currently prepared for an attack on Iran. According to foreign media, the efforts of Gulf allies have currently averted war. President Trump has taken a U-turn at the last moment, but the risks of war remain.
