Trump considers massive military strikes on Iran amid rising Middle East tensions
US President Donald Trump is considering major military strikes against Iran following attacks on American bases in Erbil and Houthi strikes on oil tankers.
US President Donald Trump stated he is considering large-scale military strikes against Iran, potentially exceeding previous operations, following a series of regional escalations. While Trump noted that no final decision has been made, Washington is preparing potential retaliatory measures as US forces face ongoing strikes across the Middle East.
Recent incidents include attacks targeting American troops at a base in Erbil, Iraq, as well as Houthi strikes against two oil tankers. The White House also indicated plans to utilize frozen Iranian assets abroad to compensate for damages caused by Tehran's actions.
Amid 14 consecutive nights of US airstrikes in the region, Trump is scheduled to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington on Tuesday to discuss the conflict.
