The U.S. military is planning for possible strikes on Iran that could last for weeks, if President Trump orders the attack. That’s according to two U.S. officials speaking to Reuters. It comes amid a CBS News report that President Trump informed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a meeting at Mar-a-Lago in December that the U.S. would back Israeli strikes against Iran’s ballistic missile program if the U.S. couldn’t reach a deal with Iran. Meanwhile, in an interview with the BBC, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi said that his country is willing to make compromises to reach a nuclear deal with the U.S. in exchange for the lifting of sanctions. On Saturday, 250,000 people rallied in Germany on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, protesting against Iran’s government following a call from Iran’s exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. At the conference, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham called for regime change in Iran.
Sen. Lindsey Graham: “If we back out now, it’ll be the biggest mistake we’ve made, far worse than the Syrian red line, far worse than Afghanistan. You can’t say, 'Keep protesting. We got your back. Help's on the way,’ and nothing happened. That’s why I’m confident that President Trump will get an outcome consistent with those three statements through diplomacy or military force.”
