President Trump indicated Monday that military actions against Iran will escalate significantly in coming days. The comments came after the reported killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, leaving uncertainty about the country's leadership.
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump indicated Monday that the United States plans to dramatically escalate its military actions against Iran, describing current operations as minimal compared to what lies ahead.
During an interview with CNN on Monday, Trump suggested that America’s military response has been restrained so far. “We haven’t even started hitting them hard. The big wave hasn’t even happened. The big one is coming soon,” the president stated.
The president’s remarks followed reports of the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, creating questions about who will assume control of the Islamic Republic. Trump acknowledged the leadership vacuum, telling CNN that the administration remains uncertain about Iran’s current command structure.
“We don’t know who the leadership is. We don’t know who they’ll pick,” Trump explained during the interview.
According to Reuters reporting from Sunday, numerous high-ranking U.S. officials express doubt that the ongoing military campaign against Iran will result in immediate government change within the country.
