Trump Orders Attacks on Iran as Soon as This Weekend, Sources Say
CBS reports the plan targets energy infrastructure and could last through the weekend, while some White House aides oppose the escalation.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military to attack Iran as soon as this weekend, the Wall Street Journal reported, with strikes intended to pressure Tehran to surrender.
- The military campaign began Feb. 28 with massive airstrikes by the U.S. and Israel, though Trump recently told reporters he is "losing faith" in negotiations, citing Iranian dishonesty.
- Reports indicate strikes may target energy infrastructure, causing WTI to rise above $86 a barrel, while Iran sealed the Strait of Hormuz and drones struck two ships at Damietta, Egypt.
- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated "Iran will continue to pay until they come to the table in, what President Trump deems, a meaningful way," amid voter disapproval of the war.
- President Trump has frequently threatened sweeping escalation only to shift his stance later, a pattern complicated by depleted U.S. munitions and air defense interceptors straining military capacity.
