Trump threatens the biggest attack on Iran
Fady Mahouly
US President Donald Trump said he is "seriously" considering resuming expanded combat operations against Iran, describing the potential attack as "bigger than ever."
He confirmed in an interview with Axios that he is about to make a decision and that Washington is ready for it.
Trump indicated that Israel would "join within two minutes" the attacks if requested, but added that Washington "does not need that," warning that Israel's joining would have consequences.
He added that the Iranians want to negotiate, but they are "not ready to conclude an agreement now" because "they have not received enough pain yet," as he put it.
