The White House requested options for a military strike against Iran last September, a report by the Wall Street Journal revealed on Sunday, citing current and former U.S. officials.

The request, reportedly made the National Security Council led by national security advisor John Bolton, alarmed Pentagon and State Department officials, The Journal wrote on Sunday. The Council made the move after an Iranian-aligned group fired missiles into Baghdad's diplomatic quarter, which hosts the U.S. embassy in Iraq. No one was harmed.

According to the publication, it remains unclear whether President Donald Trump himself knew about the request, whether the Pentagon ultimately delivered military options to the White House, and if concrete attack plans against the Islamic Republic were actually formulated. But officials who spoke to the publication confirmed that the Defense Department did indeed comply with the National Security Council's request to develop those options.

Bolton, an avid proponent of the Iraq invasion during the George W. Bush administration, has long taken one of the hardest lines against Iran in Washington and has openly supported the idea of regime change in Tehran.

A spokesperson for the White House did not immediately reply to a CNBC request for comment. Garrett Marquis, a spokesman for the National Security Council told The Journal: "We continue to review the status of our personnel following attempted attacks on our embassy in Baghdad and our Basra consulate, and we will consider a full range of options to preserve their safety and our interests."

The full report from the Wall Street Journal can be found on its website.

Great article explaining why General Flynn had to go.

In his book, Flynn is highly critical of past U.S. policy in the Middle East, particularly regarding Iran, a principal supporter of Islamic terrorism. Flynn believes that the invasion of Iraq was a major error. The focus, he believes, should have been on Iran. He slams Obama for not supporting the Green Revolution of the Iranian people in 2009, when there was a chance to topple the mullahs from inside the country. It didn't happen because, Flynn wrote:

[N]othing of the sort will be undertaken by Obama because this president wants to be remembered as the man who embraced the Islamic Republic, not as the American leader who brought it down. (page 176)

That's convicted liar Flynn's account, eveyone else's account is more about his loose relationship with the truth and incompetent management style.

Yeah, or maybe he didn't want to get into another major war since we were and are running two already.

Republicans do love starting wars.

General Flynn was an incompetent manager?

Color me surprised. The wiki-Queen thinks he knows more about leading men than a Lieutenant General. And all the idiots who put Flynn in charge with steady stream of promotions.

Yep, his subordinates thought so, as did Colin Powell whose email on the subject got leaked. But that's just reality, I'm sure you know best.

Clearly you’ve never been tasked with leadership. Effective managers will always rankle some. And now you quote that liar Colin Powell?

I smell desperation.

Just thought a republican might penetrate that incredibly thick skull of yours. Effective managers don't antagonise a significant proportion of their workers or get fired for incompetence, but you'll just never be able to grasp any evidence that doesn't fit into the teeny tiny pigeonholes in your little pinhead.

THere is just no angle of logic that pentrates delusion. Flynn himself testifies that he lied and Charlie is here to tell you why its the libruls fault. There is no avenue left for an actual genuine discussion. These frauds are happy living in their delusional bubble.
