Will the US attack Iran?

These individuals provided the information on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly.
US considering military action
Trump told reporters on his Air Force One plane Sunday night, “The military is looking at it, and we’re looking at some very tough options.” When asked about Iran’s threats of retaliation, the US president said, “If they do that, we will hit them harder than they’ve ever been hit before.” Trump said his administration was in talks for a meeting with Tehran, but he warned that he (Trump) might have to act first due to the rising death toll in Iran and the government’s continued arrests of protesters.
