Trump Weighs Iran Escalation Amid Unrepaired Military Damage and Tehran Retaliation Risk

Former U.S. President Trump signals on Truth Social a possible renewed military campaign against Iran, but The Times reports that the U.S. has not fully repaired damage from Operation 'Epic Fury,' and Tehran is prepared to retaliate. The uncertainty centers on whether Trump will follow through given the costs and risks. This matters because any U.S.-Iran escalation could disrupt Gulf oil flows and regional stability.
