White House, today.

U.S. President Donald Trump has approved plans to attack Iran, but has not yet made a final decision, according to several U.S. media outlets, including CBS News and The Wall Street Journal.

According to CBS, which quotes a senior intelligence source and a Defense Department official, Trump has agreed to cooperate with Israel in air strikes.

Late on Tuesday, Trump told senior advisers he was delaying the final decision, pending Tehran's decision to abandon its nuclear program.

A senior White House official has stated that there are still many options on the table and that Trump continues to see "how the Israelis act."

"TheWall Street Journal doesn't know what I'm going to do about Iran! "Trump wrote.

The US president said on Wednesday that he has not yet made a decision on the attacks on Iran. "I have ideas, but I have not made a final decision because the situation is changing," he explained during his appearance at the Oval Office of the White House.

In statements to the media, the US left the door open for intervention in Iran: "It may or may not. I mean, no one knows what I'm going to do. "

The US president left the G7 summit in Canada on Monday to return to the White House and meet with the National Security Council to discuss whether the US supports Israeli attacks.

On Tuesday, through social media, Trump demanded that the Islamic Republic "surrender unconditionally," and even threatened to assassinate his supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
