A senior former adviser to President Biden has disclosed that the administration deliberated over striking Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility, with the president reportedly on the verge of taking “draconian steps” against Israel following the deaths of aid workers in Gaza.

According to the account, intelligence assessments of an “unprecedented” Iranian attack prompted the administration to reconsider its approach. The former official indicated that the dynamics shifted significantly following the Iranian military response that prompted reassessment of US policy direction.

The adviser quoted as saying that had the US simply halted support for Israel, it would have resolved the crisis rather than exacerbated it, suggesting internal debate over the extent of American military aid and diplomatic pressure on Israel during the Gaza conflict.

This disclosure reveals the extent of internal deliberation within the Biden administration regarding potential military operations against Iran and the strategic calculations balancing support for Israel against broader regional stability concerns.
