U.S. Military Advises Trump Additional Time Needed Before Any Iran Action

MLN — 11 JAN 2026: Senior U.S. military officials have advised President Donald Trump that American forces require more time to prepare before launching any potential military strike on Iran.

The guidance comes amid rising unrest in Iran and growing international concern about the U.S. role as tensions escalate.

The advisement follows Trump’s statements this week suggesting the possibility of military options in response to Iranian actions and a violent domestic crackdown on protesters, prompting caution from defense leaders about readiness and potential regional fallout.

Iran has publicly warned that any U.S. attack would prompt retaliatory strikes on U.S. military bases and Israeli targets, amplifying the stakes of any decision and contributing to ongoing assessments by U.S. defense officials and diplomats.

Officials have made no immediate announcement about a timetable or authorization for military action, leaving the situation fluid as preparations and diplomatic consultations continue..
