Trump Says Decision on Massive Attack Against Iran Is Close The threat of a massive attack against Iran has been looming over the Middle East for weeks, with Donald Trump's latest comments bringing it perilously close to reality.
The US president's remarks to Axios hint at an escalation that would dwarf previous strikes, a reflection not only of his increasingly dire situation but also of the catastrophic failure of American foreign policy in the region.
Critics argue that Trump has been drawn into an "escalation trap," where every move he makes pushes the conflict further down the rabbit hole.
