A few moments ago, CBS News reported that President Donald Trump has ordered the largest bombing campaign to date in the war, targeting Iran's energy infrastructure in this new round. The attacks would be coordinated with Israel and could continue over the weekend.
"The Israelis have been notified and are coordinating with the United States, according to multiple U.S. sources," reported the aforementioned outlet, adding that Trump has not given the final orders for the attack, but it could begin in the coming hours.
"We just want to win. We are doing very well. We are trying to be nice, as nice as one can be in such a situation," Trump told reporters during a cabinet meeting at Camp David this morning. "We will hit them very hard, and at some point, they will say they can't take it anymore," he assessed.
The largest bombing campaign to date in the Iran war is anticipated
Open War
The president anticipated this week that the new attack "would be bigger than ever before," as the Iranian regime "has not received enough pain" after it unexpectedly attacked a base in Jordan where U.S. troops are stationed. The U.S. military bombed regime targets on Tuesday and Wednesday in retaliation for this attack by the Islamic regime, but there were no reports of explosions on Thursday.
It is worth remembering that Trump had ordered to halt the bombing campaign last week to give the diplomatic route one last chance, but when asked today if he still believes he can reach an agreement with the Islamic theocracy, he was blunt: "I am losing faith in them because they lie and distort things."
