During a cabinet meeting at Camp David, Trump expressed a declining trust in Iranian leadership, characterizing their communications as deceptive. While the president has not yet issued a final authorization for the offensive, military officials have signaled readiness to act. Coordination between the United States and Israel is reportedly underway, focusing on targets that could severely cripple Iran’s refinery capacity and energy sector.
The prospect of these strikes has sparked urgency within the White House and the Pentagon. Officials are debating an operational window that would conclude before the reopening of global financial markets on Monday, reflecting deep concerns over the potential impact on oil prices and international trade. This escalation follows months of fragile instability, marked by Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz and drone attacks on maritime shipments, including recent incidents at Egypt’s Damietta port. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reaffirmed the administration’s stance, stating that the United States remains committed to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities.
