Trump says he has a ‘big decision coming up’ on Iran

Trump is weighing whether to resume major strikes as officials say diplomacy has stalled and military forces remain positioned for a possible return to combat.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump told Axios he is weighing whether to "annihilate" Iran, describing the moment as a "critical juncture" in determining whether to restart massive attacks.
  • Trump will meet Tuesday with leaders from six Gulf nations—Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman—at the UN General Assembly in New York to consult on next steps.
  • Escalating attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels against Saudi Arabia and continued Iranian strikes in the Strait of Hormuz persist, while Trump maintains a naval blockade, claiming "not one ship has gone to Iran since we started."
  • The administration is drafting a post-war containment strategy while navigating Israel's Oct. 27 election and U.S. midterms on Nov. 3; Trump said he "may" meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next week.
  • Over the weekend, Trump told reporters the war will end "very soon," likely after the midterms, claiming Iran was "two weeks away" from acquiring a nuclear weapon and predicting oil prices will "come tumbling down.
