CIA Agent: Trump Plans Attack on Iran 'Monday or Tuesday'

Former CIA agent John Kiriakou claims that US President Donald Trump is planning to launch an attack on Iran “Monday or Tuesday,” citing a source from the White House. According to Kiriakou, a decision has been made for an attack early next week, after Trump’s deadline for Iran expires. Kiriakou reports that Vice President JD Vance and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard oppose the war, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth support it. At the same time, reports indicate that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has prepared for a possible attack, designating succession levels and transferring powers to close associates. The New York Times had reported that Tehran is prepared for the potential US attack. The situation remains tense and the possibility of military conflict is increasing, as Trump has given Iran a deadline to accept US terms.
