Trump Weighs Iran Strike Amid Intelligence Dispute

President Donald Trump is considering US military strikes against Iran following Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, despite disagreement with his Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, who asserts that Iran is not actively building a nuclear weapon. Trump, aligning with Israel's position that Iran is close to developing a weapon, has stated a US decision could come within two weeks. European and US officials have met with Iran for talks, and Iran has indicated willingness for further negotiations if Israeli strikes end, though no breakthrough has been reached. French officials warned that military action would only slow Iran's nuclear ambitions and cautioned against externally imposed regime change. US intelligence confirms Iran possesses a large uranium stockpile but has not found evidence of an active weapons program. The heightened threat of US military action has already impacted global markets and raised fears of wider regional conflict.
