TRUMP CLOSE TO DECISION TO LAUNCH LARGEST ATTACK ON IRAN TO DATE

WASHINGTON, JULY 23 /SRNA/ - US President Donald Trump stated that he is close to a decision on launching a large-scale attack on Iran, which he described as potentially the largest to date.

"I am thinking about a massive attack. Bigger than ever before. I am close to making a decision. We are all ready for it," Trump said in an interview with the Axios portal.

He did not specify when the attack might be carried out.

Trump stated that Israel would "join within two minutes if asked," but added that America would not need anyone in the event of launching a new operation against Tehran.

He also said there would be "consequences" if Israel joins the attacks, hinting at Iranian retaliation.
