Trump Says He Is 'Always' Considering Renewed Strikes on Iran

President Donald Trump said he continues to weigh the possibility of renewed military strikes on Iran, telling Axios in an interview that he is "always thinking about it" when asked directly whether he was considering resuming such action.

The comment, brief as it was, signals that the option of further strikes on Iran remains active in the administration's thinking, even amid parallel discussions about potential diplomacy between Washington and Tehran.

Trump did not elaborate in the reported remarks on what circumstances might prompt a decision to strike, nor did he rule out a return to negotiations. The ambiguity in his answer leaves open both possibilities as tensions between the two countries continue.

The statement comes as part of a broader pattern of US-Iran exchanges in recent days, with officials on both sides making public comments that alternate between signaling openness to talks and warning of continued military options.

Trump's history of combining pressure tactics with periodic openness to negotiation with Iran means his comment is likely to be read by observers as consistent with that approach, keeping both military and diplomatic paths visibly on the table.
