According to a report, President Trump considered returning to a full-scale military campaign against Iran, aiming to 'finish the job.' The discussions reportedly involved senior officials, but no decision has been made and the diplomatic track remains open.
A report Wednesday morning indicated that U.S. President Donald Trump considered reviving a full-scale military campaign against Iran, with the stated goal of 'finishing the job.' The discussions, which involved senior administration officials including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman General Charles Q. Brown Jr., are said to reflect White House frustration with the pace of diplomatic efforts. However, the report also stressed that Trump remains reluctant to abandon the diplomatic track, and no decision has been made to escalate. The development follows months of indirect tensions between Washington and Tehran, including ongoing disputes over Iran's nuclear program and its regional proxies. As The Zioneer reported earlier (03:42 Jerusalem), the prospect of a return to full-scale conflict has been a subject of internal deliberation, though the administration has continued to pursue a negotiated framework.
