Axios reports that US President Biden has been presented with options for a potential attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities if Tehran moves toward nuclear weapons before January 20.

The meeting took place “several weeks ago” and Biden “did not give the go-ahead for a strike during the meeting and has not done so since,” the sources said.

To me this looks more like contingency planning in case Iran decides to take advantage of the lame duck session than any real steps towards conflict.

The report also ominously says this:

Iran has increased its uranium enrichment to 60%, close enough to the 90% level needed to produce nuclear weapons that Iran’s advanced centrifuges could achieve within days.

It then warns that it would take at least a year to develop the warhead.

It will be interesting to see how Trump handles Iran.
