Trump threatens more destruction in Iran: 'You’ll know soon enough'

In a recent Oval Office meeting, President Donald Trump revealed that he may soon decide to expand the war on Iran, according to Axios. This warning was echoed by several two US officials who were present during the discussion. Trump cautioned that the decision to "destroy the rest of the country" could not be ruled out, but he stated that such an action was not his preferred course of action.

He asserted that Iran could take between 25 to 30 years to rebuild, acknowledging that 18 US service members have already lost their lives in the ongoing conflict. The meeting marked the first time in a while that Trump had discussed Iran since the recent midterm elections, which have brought Democrats to power. While some experts believe that the Democratic victory could bring about more oversight, others speculate that Trump might intensify his military operations before the new Congress takes office in January. Mixed signals from the President have left analysts uncertain about his true intentions.
