Amid rising tensions, President Donald Trump revealed that a decision on potential military action against Iran could be made by Sunday. During a conversation with Axios reporter Barak Ravid, Trump stated there is a 'solid 50/50' chance that he would either negotiate a favorable deal or take military action, which he described as 'blowing them to kingdom come.' This statement comes as Trump is expected to meet with key advisors, including his son-in-law Jared Kushner and U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, to discuss Iran's latest peace proposal. The proposal includes a plan to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for global oil shipments. However, it also suggests deferring discussions on nuclear enrichment, a point of contention for Trump, who has previously insisted that any agreement must address Iran's enriched uranium capabilities. The outcome of these discussions could significantly impact U.S.-Iran relations and regional stability.
