President Donald Trump said he is nearing a decision on a possible large-scale US strike against Iran, describing it as the biggest military action of the war so far. In remarks reported by Axios on Thursday, he indicated that an attack was under serious consideration and that preparations were already in place.
The statement points to a possible sharp escalation in the conflict. By saying the US was ready to act, Trump suggested military planning had moved beyond general discussion and into an advanced stage, even if a final order had not yet been given.
The report also indicated that Israel could take part in any expanded operation, raising the prospect of a broader coordinated strike. That possibility would add to concerns about a wider regional confrontation if the US moves ahead.
For now, the key development is that Trump has publicly framed a major Iran strike as a live option and signaled that a decision could come soon. The comments underscore how quickly the war could intensify depending on the next move from Washington.
