President Donald Trump met with his top generals in the Situation Room as battle plans on Iran were approved – and the region braced for Trump’s final order.
Trump said he was going from the Oval Office ‘downstairs’ for a ‘war room’ meeting.
The president has made a decision on whether to engage U.S. forces against Iran, according to the Wall Street Journal, but has not given final orders.
One possible option could be the deployment of B-2 bombers to drop 30,000-pound bunker-busters on Iran’s heavily fortified nuclear sites.
It came as at least three Iranian planes landed on Wednesday in the capital of Oman – the previous site of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks.
Al Jazeera verified flight data that showed two Iranian government planes and one from Iran’s privately-owned Meraj Airlines landing in Muscat.
The Iranian government has not released details on an official trip to Oman.
It was unclear if the movements signify a diplomatic outcome could still come out of the current crisis.
Trump on Wednesday suggested that he had run out of patience with the Iranian regime.
‘It’s already run out,’ he said. ‘They had 60 days … plenty of time, and they made a mistake.’
