Trump pauses Iran strikes as US weighs next move — but warns ‘full-scale war’ could return

President Trump halted new US strikes on Iran as he weighs whether Tehran is ready to cut a deal — while a wider regional war appears to be spreading into another critical shipping corridor.

After 13 consecutive days of attacks, Trump instructed the US military to pause any additional strikes against Iran Friday, Axios reported Saturday, which cited two people familiar with the decision.

But the president has made clear that the temporary halt does not mean Washington is backing down. In a brief phone interview with France’s LCI news, Trump said he was still prepared to restart a major military campaign if Tehran does not give the United States what it wants.

“If we don’t get 100% of what we want, absolutely,” Trump said when asked whether he could return to full-scale war with Iran. *** Trump said Thursday that the US was “locked and loaded” for a possible major attack while talks with the Iranians continued.

Heightened Vitriolic Rhetoric + WTI > $90Bbl = TACO

Trump is being an idiot. I hate to admit it but he is.

Iran needs to be annihilated beyond any other enemy. He should have taken cuba first. This is a major screw up on his part. Unleash the dogs of war and tell the people why it must be done!

“The suspension of US military operations is intended to avoid hindering ongoing diplomatic efforts.”

“The President has made it clear...” Made it clear he will give them unlimited cease fires to rebuild while they treat him like a rookie.

Yeah, well, he messed up his war in Gaza also.I’m disappointed in Trump. He needed to be more like his hero.

When the traders and liberals first coined the term TACO last year, thought it was quite rude and typical of liberals.

Now now one see that the term was right on the mark.

Yeah, he should take that picture of Andrew Jackson down and replace it with George McClellan.

Halting the bombing attacks only serves to give Iran more time to rearm.

According to the New York times, if you are to believe what they wrote, Caine and others told Trump that we dont have enough interceptors to protect everyone if a large scale war takes place, we wont be able to handle it, so its either do nothing or risk having hundreds of dead soldiers
