As military tensions between the US and Iran continue, The Wall Street Journal has claimed that the Washington administration is preparing for a new wave of attacks.
According to the report, which cites government sources, US President Donald Trump has ordered a new wave of attacks on Iran that will last for several days in an effort to force the Tehran administration into a deal. The report alleged that the attacks could begin as early as this weekend.
Trump also delivered harsh messages regarding Iran during a press-accessible cabinet meeting held at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland.
During the meeting, the US President stated, "We will hit them very hard. At some point, they will say, 'we can't take it anymore'."
When asked whether the clashes between the US and Iran would continue until Iran's capacity to retaliate is completely exhausted, Trump replied, "It will last a while. They will get weaker and weaker. Maybe they can get a little stronger now, but then they will get weaker again and their influence will fade away."
While the claim has raised concerns that tensions between the two countries could escalate further, there has been no official or detailed statement from Washington regarding the new attack plan.
