Trump says he has a ‘big decision coming up’ on Iran
Trump is weighing a return to full-scale combat as U.S. officials keep forces in the Middle East and seek Gulf backing, Axios reported.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump told Axios he is weighing whether to "annihilate" Iran, describing the moment as a "critical juncture" in determining whether to restart massive attacks.
- Trump will meet Tuesday with leaders from six Gulf nations—Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman—at the UN General Assembly in New York to consult on next steps.
- Escalating attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels against Saudi Arabia and continued Iranian strikes in the Strait of Hormuz persist, while Trump maintains a naval blockade, claiming "not one ship has gone to Iran since we started."
- The administration is drafting a post-war containment strategy while navigating Israel's Oct. 27 election and U.S. midterms on Nov. 3; Trump said he "may" meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next week.
- Over the weekend, Trump told reporters the war will end "very soon," likely after the midterms, claiming Iran was "two weeks away" from acquiring a nuclear weapon and predicting oil prices will "come tumbling down.
