The US President Donald Trump says he contemplated a massive strike against Iran and this could happen in days.
President Trump told Axios, a US media outlet on Thursday that he’s seriously considering restarting major combat operations in Iran — including strikes that would be bigger than the ones carried out during Operation Epic Fury.
In a brief interview, Trump acknowledged that such a decision would have consequences and stressed he hasn’t made a determination yet.
Trump didn’t give a deadline for his decision.
Two other U.S. officials confirmed no call has been made and no new orders have been given to the military.
The current escalation has caused oil prices to eclipse $100 per barrel. A return to all-out war is highly unpopular in the U.S.
“I am considering a massive attack. Bigger than ever before. I am close to making a decision. We are all set for it,” the president said.
