Trump Tells Axios He's "Close to Making a Decision" on "Massive" Attack Against Iran

President Trump told Axios on July 23, 2026, that he is nearing a decision on launching a "massive" military attack against Iran — larger than any prior strikes in the months-long conflict. "I am close to making a decision. We are all set for it," he said. The remarks followed Houthi attacks on two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea.
