Axios: Trump says he is considering major strike on Iran

US President Donald Trump has stated that he is considering launching a large-scale strike on Iran, adding that any military action would be more extensive than previous attacks.

"I am considering a massive attack. Bigger than ever before. I am close to making a decision. We are all set for it," Trump said in an interview with Axios, Caliber.Az reports.

Trump made it clear that Israel "would join in two minutes if I ask them to," but, in his words, the US doesn't need anybody’s help to launch a new operation against Iran.

He also noted that there would be "consequences" for Israel joining the strikes, hinting at Iranian retaliation against Israel.
