Anonymous sources claim the US is eyeing weekend attacks on Iran

Factcheck:

The claim originates from a DropSite News report citing anonymous sources that the US informed a Middle East ally of potential strikes on Iran as early as this weekend, aiming for regime change via leadership targeting and hoped-for protests. No official US confirmation or denial; White House and State Dept statements focus on sanctions, not attacks. Iranian officials warn of strong response but remain open to diplomacy.
