President Donald Trump is weighing a "massive attack" on Iran, claiming he is close to a decision. In an interview, he stated, "I am considering a massive attack. Bigger than ever before. I am close to making a decision. We are all set for it." Trump did not specify a timeline for the potential strike, but indicated that Israel would join the operation if requested, despite the risk of Iranian retaliation.123
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio characterized Trump's strategy as "a head for an eye," emphasizing that Iran would face severe consequences for its actions. He remarked, "They will pay a very heavy price for the things they're doing. They're already paying a very heavy price."
In response, Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the U.K. for its support of U.S. military actions, stating that any nation participating in aggression against Iran would be held accountable. The statement declared, "The British government has chosen to align itself with the aggressors, reducing its standing to that of an accomplice of the United States and Israel in a brutal war against the Iranian nation." The U.K. has asserted its readiness to defend itself against such accusations, highlighting the escalating tensions in the region.45
