Trump says he's not 'stupid' to comment on possible attack against Iran

US President-elect Donald Trump on January 7 said he is not "stupid" to answer a question on the possibility of a US attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, reported from Iran International.
"It's a military strategy and I'm not answering a question on our military strategy. Only a stupid person would answer," Trump told reporters in Florida.
Axios reported on Monday that Trump left Israeli Minister Ron Dermer with the impression that he was likely to support an Israeli military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities—or even order a US strike—after a November meeting.
In a January 2 report, Axios said that White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan had presented President Joe Biden with potential military options for striking Iran's nuclear facilities if Tehran advances toward a nuclear weapon before January 20.
Biden and his national security team reviewed scenarios during a meeting around a month ago but the president has not authorized any strike, the sources said.
The United States has long sought to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, a concern that has driven years of diplomacy and sanctions.
Tehran says that its nuclear program is for civilian use only and has steadily expanded it since Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew the US from the 2015 nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
