Trump's on-again-off-again war against Iran: in his own words
Donald Trump's public statements about military action against Iran have shifted repeatedly since February 28, oscillating between aggressive threats of strikes and sudden pauses. He has threatened to attack Iran's power plants, oil infrastructure, and civilian targets, later retracting these claims or extending deadlines for diplomatic resolutions. Conflicts escalated and de-escalated multiple times, with an interim deal signed in June followed by renewed attacks in July.
