Axios reports President Trump said he is seriously considering a renewal
large-scale military strike on Iran, including attacks more severe than during
the “Epic Fury” action. He said the choice would have consequences, has not been
finalized and no deadline has been set. Two U.S. officials confirmed no orders
have been issued and no new directives have been sent to the military. Trump
said Israel would join “in two minutes” if asked but that the U.S. “does not
need anyone”; he warned Israel would face “consequences” if it participated,
implying potential Iranian retaliation.
