White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan presented President Biden with options for a possible U.S. strike on Iran 's nuclear facilities if the Iranians move towards a nuclear weapon before Jan. 20 .

Biden did not green light a strike during the meeting and has not done so since, sources say.

Iran has long denied it is seeking a nuclear bomb and stressed that its nuclear program is only for civilian purposes.

What's next: Sullivan said last month that the Biden administration had briefed President-elect Trump 's team on the intelligence picture regarding Iran 's nuclear program. - "They may choose a different course, a different strategy, but I want to make sure we are starting from a common base of what we are facing with respect to the threat posed by Iran 's nuclear program," he said..
