Trump: We're approaching a "critical turning point" in the Iran crisis and we're not ruling out striking the Iranian regime

U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday that the United States is approaching what he described as a "critical turning point" regarding the conflict with Iran, adding that Washington is considering whether to resume large-scale attacks in an effort to end the dispute.

Trump indicated, according to American media reports, that the options available to the American administration include the possibility of escalating military operations against the Iranian regime, without ruling out the possibility that this confrontation could end with the removal of the government in Tehran.

The American president did not provide additional details about the nature of potential attacks or the timeline for making a decision, but he emphasized that the administration is closely monitoring developments on the ground before taking any further steps.

These remarks come amid escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, amid speculation about Washington's willingness to carry out direct military escalation against Tehran, at a time when Iranian authorities have not issued an immediate response to Trump's statements.
