Trump has ordered a new round of attacks on Iran

August 1st, US officials stated that Trump has ordered a new wave of attacks on Iran, aiming to force Tehran to surrender. The operation could start as early as this weekend and may last for several days. US officials said Trump is considering a two-week intensive airstrike to weaken Iran's missile capabilities, but military advisors warned that dwindling ammunition stocks could pose a risk.

Some US officials believe that Iran may continue to delay negotiations, hoping that Trump will eventually abandon a prolonged military operation due to increasing domestic political opposition.
