A new report says the Pentagon has prepared several options for President Donald Trump if nuclear talks with Iran collapse. One option includes a possible strike targeting Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his son Mojtaba, according to Axios. “They have something for every scenario. One scenario takes out the ayatollah and his son,” a Trump adviser was quoted as saying. US officials said Trump is ready to accept a deal if Iran proves its nuclear programme will stay peaceful. “If the Iranians want to prevent an attack, they should give us an offer we can’t refuse,” a senior official said.
