Trump Says Decision on Major Iran Attack Is Near

Go ahead Don. Screw up the world economy some more. And try to explain why. Give us something real. We know this has nothing to do with nuclear weapons. That is total BS.

Global oil prices hit $100 a barrel on Thursday for the first time since May as the widening war between the United States and Iran stifled the flow of energy in the Middle East.

The price rebound in Brent crude oil over the past few weeks reflects the market’s growing concern about the expanding conflict, which now extends from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea. Both arteries are vital to the global energy trade.

The Houthi threat to prevent ships from traveling to and from Saudi Arabian ports on the Red Sea has complicated travel in an area that was serving as an alternative to the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran and the United States are jousting for control.

The Houthis, an Iran-backed group in Yemen, claimed on Wednesday that they had targeted two Saudi oil tankers with missiles and drones. If the Houthis manage to block Saudi Arabia from using the Red Sea, they would be cutting off about 4 percent of the world’s oil supply and leaving Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s biggest producers, with very little access to global markets.

As the war in the Middle East limits the supply of energy worldwide, millions of farmers are contending with scarcity and higher prices for fuel, threatening their access to irrigation and menacing the food supply. Faced with depleted harvests, many rural households in Asia and Africa are borrowing to cover the costs of cultivation, challenging their ability to produce future crops.

In much of the world, the closure of the strait has blocked shipments of food and fertilizer, making prices much higher. The circus clown does not seem to comprehend the fact that no war has ever been won without boots on the ground in the last hundred years anywhere in the world. Bombing a country into Oblivion has never worked. This is one of the dangers of having an ignoramus, and super low end minions attempting to lead the nation.

Trump getting cold feet in making the decision for a major attack. He TACO by asking the Iragi Prime Minister Ali-al-Zaidi during a recent meeting with Trump to seek a ceasefire with Iran. Tehran rejected the proposal. They are ready for any escalation. They have years and months planning for this invasion. It will be a bloodbath on both sides. Iran is fighting for its existence with the nation behind while USA is fighting on the behalf of Israe with the majority of Americans against the war.

^^^^ All /another reason (s) to end this criminal regime + proxies. High time all the gulf states step in too. These groups are terrorizing the region with major international disruption . Like I said the U.S. has decided not to lose this war- stand by... Or do ya all want to wait until these wackos aquire a nuclear weapon???https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-22/iran-war-could-widen-as-houthi-rebels-threaten-red-sea-shipping/106939980.

Q

Now that is a pretty amusing conclusion, and though the US may have decided to not lose this war unfortunately it's already been lost in the court of public opinion, and America's reputation around the world has suffered dramatically as a result of the staggering level of incompetence that has been bought to bear on this pathetic war.

How the nation with the world's largest economy and the nation which spends more on its military than many other nations combined can suffer so much humiliation at the hands of the Iranians simply boggles the mind. It says a lot about Trump and Little Pete's incompetence and horrificly poor war strategy.

When he says "a “massive attack” against Iran, signalling the possibility of a military operation larger than previous strikes" I hope he's not thinking of sending troops in because that is just what the IRGC have been hoping for, a chance to get up close and kill thousands of Americans.

Unless he manages to convince Netanyahu to send the IDF in which is about unlikely as me waking up tomorrow 50yrs younger.

One would think that risking the world economy for a fight that the US would lose would not be a good idea, right? Get a bunch of kids killed and wreck the Western economies, all with a simple stupid decision. And yet that may well be on the agenda. Where are all the sane people?

It will be the biggest attack the world has ever seen......the best attack the world has ever seen.........it will be an attack like no one has ever seen before........The US has the best attacks, no one has attacks like the US.

Agree with you. If he can't let go of his 2020 election lost and spent 3 years appealing the civil court loss to E. Jean Carroll, he unlikely to back off. It will likely to be a frozen war with ongoing bombing. It will continue for some time until he find someone to blame to totally withdraw the military from the conflict zone. Maybe the senators will do him a favor by voting against the war or perhaps an impeachment post mid-term.

Agreed. The bombing of Germany in WW2 would likely not have brought down the Nazi regime without it also being invaded both from the east and the west. Trump and/or his advisers have hugely miscalculated on the Iran issue. The Iranian regime appears deeply entrenched and still very much in control. I fear the impasse could last for years.

I thought Iran was already decimated the first time around. Trump crowed about it endlessly. I thought Iran was again already decimated the second time around. Trump crowed about it endlessly. Now, Trump wants a third reckless, dangerous go at it? When is Congress finally going to step in and curtail this madman and reassert its SOLE authority on when America goes to war and its SOLE authority to fund military operations?

When is Congress going to wake up to the fact that economically the US has already lost just compare how many $ billions it has and is costing the US to how much its costing Iran.

How long can the US keep printing money it doesn't have and burning through its munitions stockpile just to prop up a tiny country Israel because that is what this war is really about not nuclear weapons that do not exist.

Any future nuclear developments could and were in the process of being negotiated before Israel decided to act like the mafia they are and go on a murderous killing spree assassinating Irans negotiators and leaders because an agreement was getting close to being signed.
