Inside Trump’s decision to attack Iran: ‘a window of opportunity’
AI Summary
According to sources, Donald Trump launched joint attacks with Israel against Iran on Saturday, targeting Iranian leaders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. Israeli intelligence identified a "window of opportunity" during a gathering of leaders, believing that eliminating Khamenei would weaken the regime due to the Revolutionary Guard's loyalty being primarily to him. A US official confirmed the belief that Khamenei and other top leaders were killed in the strike in Tehran. Trump cited the opportunity to target Khamenei as accelerating the timeline for the strikes. The attacks followed unsuccessful talks in Geneva, where Trump's envoys pushed Iran to dismantle its nuclear enrichment sites and surrender its stockpile. Oman's foreign minister, who had been involved in brokering talks, criticized the attacks for undermining negotiations.
