Trump Considers Large-Scale Military Strike on Iran Amid Rising Regional Tensions
US President Donald Trump is considering a large-scale military strike on Iran, potentially exceeding previous operations like "Operation Epic Fury." While no final decision or new military orders have been issued, Trump indicated Israel could join quickly if requested but emphasized the US can act independently. He warned Iran and its Houthi allies of major consequences amid ongoing regional tensions and attacks on shipping routes. Iranian leaders have reportedly declined recent diplomatic proposals, and the situation has contributed to rising global oil prices and heightened instability in the Middle East.
