Trump orders expanded strikes on Iran after missile attack shattered trust in peace talks
President Trump has directed the military to prepare a fresh wave of strikes against Iran that could begin within days, a sharp escalation after an Iranian missile attack on American forces in Jordan during active negotiations.Trump previewed the coming offensive at a Friday cabinet meeting at Camp David, telling his war cabinet the United States is "going big" and accusing Tehran of negotiating in bad faith while simultaneously targeting American troops.
The New York Post reported that the military has drafted multiple options for fresh attacks, including a sustained bombing campaign lasting ten to fourteen days and potential strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure, including electricity serving Tehran.
The order follows a sequence that would test any commander-in-chief's patience. On Wednesday, while Special Envoy Steve Witkoff was engaged in negotiations with Iranian counterparts, Iran launched five missiles at a U.S. base in Jordan. Trump learned of the attack not from his negotiator but from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Iran fired on U.S. troops mid-negotiation, and Trump responded within hours:
The U.S. military hit back the same day. U.S. Central Command struck dozens of targets tied to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, including command centers and missile and drone facilities.

Can we just wipe Iran out? This has gone on way too long and Iran is ever going to surrender.
