The commentary\u200b aligns with a general sentiment \u2062that war should be avoided as a solution, and urges for a more diplomatic approach to\u2062 dealing \u2063with Iran.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Is President Joe Biden planning something catastrophic in the final days of his presidency?

We can only hope not. Axios reported on Thursday that several weeks ago, the president met with national security advisor Jake Sullivan, during which he was presented with options for a potential strike on Iran&#8217;s nuclear sites before January 20, the inauguration day of President-elect Donald Trump. According to Axios&#8217; sources, Biden did not approve any plans for such a strike and has remained non-committal since that meeting. The purpose of the meeting was not to elicit a definitive answer from Biden but rather to prepare for a response if Iran continued its pursuit of nuclear weapons\u2014a scenario Biden has vowed to prevent. Sources indicated that given Iran&#8217;s advancements in nuclear capabilities\u2014despite its claims that its program is solely for civilian purposes\u2014and its weakened position due to conflict with Israel, this could be an opportune moment for military action.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan remarked on how U.S. foreign policy should evolve in light of recent statements from Iranian officials regarding their nuclear ambitions: &#8220;You can look at the public statements of Iranian officials, which have changed in the last few months as they have faced strategic setbacks, and ask: Do we need to adjust our doctrine?&#8221; The International Atomic Energy Agency reports that Iran possesses enough uranium enriched to 60% for four nuclear bombs; however, Israeli intelligence estimates it would take at least a year to develop an actual weapon.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this meeting yielding no clear decisions and being intended more as preparation than directive guidance from Biden, time is running short for this administration. A military strike against Iran should be among the lowest priorities on Biden\u2019s agenda with less than three weeks remaining before his successor takes office. Time constraints are one issue; another is concerns about Biden\u2019s cognitive fitness at his age. America cannot afford an unfit leader initiating another war that others will ultimately have to resolve. Is he so resentful towards Trump that he would entangle the nation in yet another Middle Eastern conflict just before leaving office?<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan noted last month that Trump&#8217;s team had been briefed on these developments: &#8220;They may choose a different course or strategy, but I want us all starting from a shared understanding of what we face.&#8221; Any alternative seems preferable to war\u2014let&#8217;s hope Trump avoids pursuing such an option<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2386102,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Joe-Biden.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[4002,3620,4551,3823,10423],"class_list":["post-2386101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-attack","tag-biden","tag-foreign-policy","tag-iran","tag-presidency"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Joe-Biden.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2386101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2386101"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2386101\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2386105,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2386101\/revisions\/2386105"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2386102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2386101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2386101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2386101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
