Times of Israel · back to the audit

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he is considering ordering the largest US attack on Iran yet. I am considering a massive attack. Bigger than ever before. I am close to making a decision. We are all set for it, he told Axios. Trump said that the Iranians need to be struck more before they will be ready to make a deal. They have not received enough pain yet, he said. Everything depends on Trump, a senior Israeli official told Channel 12. We do not know where he is heading. He is maneuvering between a major escalation and a gradual escalation. Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israel is prepared for every possibility.
