Trump Promises ‘Bigger Than Ever’ Attack But Still Can’t Pick a Day
KEY POINTS
- •On Thursday, Trump told Axios he’s seriously considering a major strike on Iran larger than 'Operation Epic Fury.'
- •Two US officials confirmed no decision has been made and no military orders issued despite ongoing escalations.
- •Meanwhile, Iran-backed Houthis have attacked Saudi ships, prompting Trump to threaten holding Iran responsible on Truth Social.
President Trump told Axios he’s 'considering a massive attack' on Iran, rivaling 'Operation Epic Fury,' which sounds like a superhero movie no one paid attention to. He’s ‘close’ to deciding, but gives zero deadlines—because why commit when you can keep the suspense alive? Oil prices popped over $100 a barrel amid the saber-rattling while Joe Public screams 'No more wars, please.' Trump bragged Israel would 'join in two minutes' but then warned of 'consequences' if they did, like a group chat gone toxic. Meanwhile, Iranian proxies like the Houthis keep poking Saudi ships, and on Truth Social Trump promises 'major military punishment.' Oh, and Netanyahu might show up at Lindsey Graham's wake, because nothing says solidarity like the funeral dance-off.
