The Trump administration is rapidly approaching a potential military confrontation with Iran that could erupt sooner, and on a larger scale, than many Americans currently expect, sources familiar with the matter told Axios.
U.S. operations would likely involve a multi-week joint campaign with Israel targeting key Iranian nuclear, missile and military infrastructure, Axios reported on Wednesday. With diplomacy stalled and a significant U.S. military presence already in the region, officials warned the coming months could bring the most consequential American military action in the Middle East in more than a decade, according to the outlet.
“The boss is getting fed up. Some people around him warn him against going to war with Iran, but I think there is 90% chance we see kinetic action in the next few weeks,” one Trump adviser told the outlet.
