TL;DR

President Trump said the US will carry out large-scale attacks on Iran, including today, while adding that Washington is very close to a deal with Tehran, according to Israeli media citing his remarks.

01 · THE DISPATCH

President Trump escalated his rhetoric on Iran Wednesday afternoon, stating the US would conduct large-scale strikes including attacks on the current day. The statement, reported by Israeli media, renews the threat of a major operational push against Iranian infrastructure. At the same time, Trump said Washington is very close to a deal with Tehran, preserving the dual track of ultimatum and negotiation that has defined the final phase of the talks. This bulletin updates a thread The Zioneer has been tracking since at least 14:40 UTC, when Trump said he was close to ordering a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. By 15:57 UTC, the outlet reported Trump confirming heavy strikes had been carried out and vowing continued military action. The new threat, published around 16:02 UTC, appears to sustain the same pressure campaign rather than introduce a distinct new attack. No independent confirmation of ongoing large-scale strikes beyond earlier reported operations has emerged.
