US considers massive Iran strike as Washington plans London summit
US President Donald Trump stated Washington is considering a massive attack against Iran, while diplomatic efforts and plans for a London maritime summit continue.
US President Donald Trump declared that Washington is evaluating a "massive" military attack against Iran, while simultaneously maintaining that both nations are engaged in serious discussions. According to Trump, Tehran desires an agreement but remains unprepared to finalize terms.
The statements come as Iran reportedly rejected recent truce proposals. Regional instability continues to spread across the Gulf, where Kuwait and Bahrain scrambled fighter jets in response to recent attacks. To address maritime security, Washington is organizing a conference in London next week to discuss strategies for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, officials in Israel downplayed speculation regarding an immediate ceasefire.
