President Donald Trump asked senior advisers last Thursday about potential options for attacking Iran's main nuclear site, US media report.
The advisers warned him that military action could spark a broader conflict, officials were cited as saying.
The White House has not commented on the accounts of the meeting.
It took place a day after the global nuclear watchdog said Iran's enriched uranium stockpile was 12 times what was permitted under a 2015 nuclear deal.
The landmark accord saw the US and five other world powers give Iran relief from crippling economic sanctions in return for limits on sensitive activities to show it was not developing nuclear weapons.

Presidents ask for options on many things they never do. And part of the problem here is that everything seems to leak to the press...

Going to call BS. Trump s very selective in his use of force. I remember when Iran shot down US drones and advisors wanted Trump to retaliate. A lot more evidence Trump is seeking to deescalate in the Mid East . Trump wans less US military involvement and wants our troops out!
