President Trump said Thursday that he is weighing a significant escalation in combat operations against Iran following the US military 12th day of consecutive strikes. The president told Axios that he is considering a massive attack against the country that would be bigger than ever before. I am close to making a decision. We are all set for it, Trump told Axios. Trump said Israel would join in two minutes if I ask them to. The president told Axios that the Iranians want to negotiate but that they are not yet prepared to reach a final agreement. They have not received enough pain yet, he said.
