Trump Blurts Out Wild Warning About ‘Big Decision’
Kevin Lamarque / REUTERS President Donald Trump has ominously declared that he faces a “big decision” about his disastrous Iran war.
The Trump administration’s war is now in its seventh month, with no clear timeline for when it might end.
But Trump, ahead of a meeting with Gulf leaders, said he has a lot to think about.
“I have a big decision coming up.
Do I want to go in and annihilate them [the Iranian regime] or do I not? It’s a big decision.
Anything could happen with me,” he told Axios.
Trump is meeting next week with leaders from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman during the UN General Assembly in New York.
On that, Trump said, “I want to find out where they are and how they are doing.
We have been very protective of them.” Trump has previously lashed out at Gulf allies for not doing more to help him in the war he started.
Axios reported that the meeting will likely shape the next phase of the conflict as Trump will either continue with widespread military action or make a renewed pitch for diplomacy.
On the latter front, he has put his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and his former golf buddy, Steve Witkoff, in charge of U.S. negotiations with Iran, but those negotiations have repeatedly gone south.
Iran has indicated it prefers to negotiate with Vice President JD Vance, who is, at his core, a skeptic of U.S. military intervention in the Middle East.
Still, the president seemed pleased about how the war was going, proclaiming to the outlet that “Not one ship has gone to Iran since we started.
They tried, and we blew them up.” Trump’s war with Iran gets more and more disastrous by the day.
