Trump Has Discussed Timeline for Iran Strikes — Including as Soon as This Weekend — but No Decision Yet
- On Wednesday, Axios reported the Trump administration is closer than many Americans realize to launching a major war with Iran, and sources said the U.S. `could be engaged in a major war in the Middle East` `very soon`.
- The administration shifted to a two-track approach of diplomacy and military buildup, with deployments growing dramatically in recent weeks as Israel's government pushes for broader strikes and regime change.
- Named carriers include the USS Gerald Ford and USS Abraham Lincoln near Iran, each with crews up to 5,690; logistics show more than 150 cargo flights and 50 additional fighter jets moved this month.
- Senior U.S. officials assess a 90% chance of kinetic action within weeks if diplomatic gaps persist, while Israeli officials prepare for war within days and Iranian officials plan proposals in two weeks.
- Sources who spoke with Axios warned the operation could threaten Iran's clerical regime and be more extensive than past U.S. strikes, while defense analysts say deployments position the U.S. for a sustained regionwide campaign.
