President Donald Trump has confirmed he has privately approved plans for a potential U.S. military strike on Iran but insists he has not made a final decision.

The deliberations follow a series of Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites, prompting a crisis that has entered its sixth day.

While Trump continues to meet with advisors in the White House Situation Room, he has told reporters, 'Nobody knows what I’m going to do,' leaving both allies and adversaries in suspense over possible American involvement.
