US President Donald Trump met with his national security team on Thursday to discuss the possibility of resuming military operations against Iran. Trump stated that if necessary, he would have to destroy the rest of Iran. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) is reported to be stepping up preparations for a potential new wave of strikes.
According to Axios, President Donald Trump stated on Thursday that he is weighing three options regarding Iran: resuming military strikes, maintaining economic pressure, or pursuing a negotiated settlement. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that the administration would decide whether to escalate strikes to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program and prevent it from being rebuilt.
Trump stated that he will decide "soon" whether to launch another major wave of strikes on Iran following a White House meeting with his national security team. He added, "I would rather not destroy the rest of the country if possible, but maybe I will have to."
Organizers announced Wednesday that the Royal International Air Tattoo will permanently relocate from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire to MOD Boscombe Down in Wiltshire. This decision follows a suspected Iranian threat at the base that reportedly rattled officials over a month ago.
