By the Numbers
According to a report by the Axios news website, US President Donald Trump is alleged to have seriously considered launching a military attack against Iran that would exceed the scale of 'Operation Ruthless Aggression' conducted in February. It was reported that although Trump has not made a final decision on the matter, he stated that all necessary preparations have been completed.
Arguing that Israel could join such potential operations very quickly, Trump emphasized that they do not need other countries in this process. However, he also drew attention to the possibility that Iran might retaliate if Israel participates in the attacks. Claiming that although the Iranian side continues its desire to negotiate, it is not currently inclined towards a deal, Trump stated that Iran 'has not suffered enough yet.'
On the other hand, two US officials familiar with the matter stated that no official order has yet been given to the US military for any military operation against Iran. Trump also added that his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who is scheduled to come to Washington next week, is very good and that he could meet with him if the opportunity arises.
