Trump Orders Attacks on Iran as Soon as This Weekend, Sources Say
- On Friday, President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military to attack Iran as soon as this weekend, the Wall Street Journal reported, with strikes intended to pressure Tehran to surrender.
- The military campaign began Feb. 28 with massive airstrikes by the U.S. and Israel, though Trump recently told reporters he is "losing faith" in negotiations, citing Iranian dishonesty.
- Reports indicate strikes may target energy infrastructure, causing WTI to rise above $86 a barrel, while Iran sealed the Strait of Hormuz and drones struck two ships at Damietta, Egypt.
- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated "Iran will continue to pay until they come to the table in, what President Trump deems, a meaningful way," amid voter disapproval of the war.
- President Trump has frequently threatened sweeping escalation only to shift his stance later, a pattern complicated by depleted U.S. munitions and air defense interceptors straining military capacity.
