President Trump told Axios on Thursday that he is seriously considering restarting major combat operations in Iran — including strikes that would be bigger than the ones carried out during "Operation Epic Fury." Why it matters: In a brief interview, Trump acknowledged that such a decision would have consequences and stressed he hasn't made a determination yet. Trump didn't give a deadline for his decision. Two other U.S. officials confirmed no call has been made and no new orders have been given to the military. The current escalation has already caused oil prices to eclipse $100 per barrel. A return to all-out war is highly unpopular in the U.S. What he's saying: "I am considering a massive attack. Bigger than ever before. I am close to making a decision.

So far Iran hasn't shown any willingness to change course — it, too, has intensified attacks in the region. Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have started attacking Saudi ships in the Red Sea, exacerbating tensions in another critical oil shipping route and further destabilizing the global energy market. Trump wrote on his Truth Social account that if the Houthis fire again at ships in the Red S
