US strike on Iran already approved, could happen early next week – Bild

A decision to carry out a US military strike on Iran has reportedly been made, with the attack possibly taking place on February 23 or 24, according to Bild, citing former CIA agent John Kiriaku, who in turn referenced a source inside the White House.

Kiriaku said the US government is reportedly divided into two factions over the necessity of a military operation in Iran. Advocates for the strike include Senator Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Opposing the strike are Vice President J.D. Vance and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
