Trump Reveals Iran Options, Signals Decision Soon

He described three paths, including a deal, as Tehran sent demands through Qatar and the Pentagon watchdog put the war’s cost at $33 billion.

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump told Fox News he is in a 'deciding mode' regarding Iran, questioning 'if and when' to 'blow the entire nation up' while weighing military strikes, economic isolation, or a negotiated deal.
  • The administration's approach follows nearly six months of prioritizing economic measures over military action in the Middle East. Officials have outlined three paths: wiping Iran out, letting its economy collapse, or making a deal.
  • While attending the United Nations General Assembly this week, Trump indicated he would 'probably be open' to meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. His remarks echo Thursday comments questioning whether to 'go in and annihilate them.'
  • U.S. embassies across the Middle East issued security alerts warning of 'potential for unforeseen escalation' after Iran-backed Houthi rebels intensified attacks on Saudi Arabia. The Pentagon reports nearly $33 billion in war costs and strategic munitions shortfalls.
  • Trump plans to meet with leaders from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states during the summit to gauge regional input before finalizing his decision. A Fox News poll found 71 percent of Americans believe the administration lacks a clear plan to end the war.
