Trump's Iran Airstrikes Decision: Kushner and Witkoff's Influence
The US president's decision on potential airstrikes against Iran will partially depend on the advice of his special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, as the US prepares for last-ditch nuclear deal negotiations.
The fate of potential US airstrikes against Iran will hinge in part on the judgment of President Donald Trump's special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, according to sources familiar with the matter. As the US prepares for last-ditch negotiations on Thursday to secure a deal that would see Iran relinquish its nuclear capacity, Trump is weighing whether to order limited strikes or a larger attack to force regime change in the Islamic Republic.
Trump has told his advisers he is considering both options, should the talks fail to produce an agreement. Iran, for its part, has vowed to retaliate as hard as possible to any US attack, with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warning last week that Iran has the ability to sink a US warship.
