The White House wants to see military options for a possible strike on Iran over an attack in Iraq linked to insurgents supported by Iran. The Wall Street Journal reports that National Security Advisor John Bolton had the Pentagon draw up plans for a strike, but it’s not known if it was brought to President Trump. Iranian-supported insurgents are blamed for firing mortars near the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. No one was hurt and the mortars landed in a vacant lot.
