President Donald Trump said he is close to deciding whether to launch a large-scale attack on Iran. In an interview with the Axios news site, Trump stated: "I am considering a massive attack. Bigger than ever before. I am close to making a decision. We are all set for it."
His remarks come after Houthi rebels struck Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea. The attacks pushed global oil prices above $100 per barrel again. The United States has been in a months-long conflict with Tehran, and Trump’s comments signal a potential escalation.
