Trump says he is 'close' to decision on 'massive attack' on Iran, bigger than Epic Fury
President Donald Trump said he is 'close' to a decision on a 'massive attack' on Iran, bigger than Operation Epic Fury, in an interview with Axios.
Trump stated Israel 'would join in two minutes if I ask them to,' but added 'we don't need anybody' to launch a new operation against Iran.
Two US officials confirmed no call has been made and no new orders have been given to the military.
Two regional sources said Iranian leadership has not accepted the latest proposal put forward in mediation efforts.
The US has escalated attacks to stop Iranian attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran-backed Houthis have attacked Saudi ships in the Red Sea.
