Trump Issues New Attack Order Against Iran

The Wall Street Journal reported, citing American officials, that Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has approved a plan for a new attack on Iran that was presented at Camp David, and this operation may begin over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) and continue for several days.

According to these sources, any immediate progress in diplomacy or a change in Trump's stance could halt the attacks and reopen the path for negotiations.

The newspaper wrote that one of the options being considered is a two-week campaign of intensive airstrikes to weaken the missile capabilities of the Islamic Republic. American officials stated that Trump believes a temporary peace agreement has been ineffective and continues to insist on halting Iran's nuclear program and ending Tehran's control over the Strait of Hormuz, while Tehran has not retreated from its positions. The Wall Street Journal added that Trump's military advisors have assessed the reduction of U.S. ammunition supplies as one of the potential risks of this operation.

Axios: Trump is Considering Attacks on Iran's Energy Targets in the Coming Days

Machine translation: Donald Trump, the President of the United States, is seriously considering carrying out attacks against energy targets in Iran in the coming days, but he has not yet issued the final order for execution; an American official told Axios on Friday.
Why it matters: The aim of the new U.S. bombing campaign against energy and infrastructure targets in Iran is to pressure the Iranians to accept U.S. conditions in the ongoing ceasefire negotiations.

▪️ These attacks may involve the Israeli military for the first time in several weeks, and such an escalation is likely to lead to Iranian missile attacks against Israel.

▪️ CBS News and the Wall Street Journal were the first media outlets to report on the potential attacks.

What they are saying: Trump referenced the potential attack at the beginning of Friday's cabinet meeting, stating, "Well, we will hit them very hard, and you know, eventually they will say that we can no longer tolerate this."

▪️ He added that the more attacks the United States conducts, the weaker the Iranians will become "and then gradually they will fall apart."

▪️ Caroline Levitt, a White House spokesperson, told Axios: "As President Trump said today in the cabinet meeting, the United States will prevail, and during his presidency, Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons."
