Trump leans toward attacking Iran, using large military operation to end war

U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly weighing military options against Iran, should diplomatic channels ultimately prove unsuccessful. The president convened his national security team on May 22 to discuss potential military actions, though a final decision has not been made.

Sources describe the ongoing negotiation process as anxious, with draft proposals circulating daily without substantial progress. Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with this stalemate. While he initially sought to give diplomacy another chance during a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on May 19, his stance shifted by May 21.

Trump has begun to lean towards a military solution, signaling the possibility of a decisive, large-scale operation. The aim would be to achieve a conclusive victory, allowing the U.S. to declare an end to the conflict.

Despite the apparent shift towards military action, individuals involved in the negotiations believe a breakthrough might still occur within the next 24 hours. However, those familiar with Trump's thinking suggest that unless negotiations yield unexpected positive developments, he is inclined to proceed with military measures.
