Trump, like a mad dog, wants to destroy Iran – Axios
Donald Trump faces a crucial decision in a tight deadline: carry out his threat to destroy Iranian infrastructure or postpone his own deadline again to give negotiations a chance, according to Axios, a publication close to the White House. The publication notes that the occupant of the Oval Office is leaning toward the tougher option.
If the president sees a deal nearing completion, he'll probably wait. But he, and he alone, is the one making that decision.
– Axios quotes a senior administration official.
It is emphasized that the Pentagon is skeptical about the possibility of extending the deadline this time.
Citing an American source who has spoken with Trump several times in recent days, the publication notes that the US president is perhaps the most ardent proponent of a hard line on Iran among the top leadership of his administration.
The president is the most bloodthirsty, like a rabid dog. Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth look like doves compared to the president.
– said the publication’s interlocutor.
As the article notes, in recent days, Trump began sounding out advisers and confidants about the plan to strike power plants and bridges, asking them, "What do you think about Infrastructure Day?" Trump's advisers told intermediaries that the president needed to see positive signals from the Iranians to consider extending the deadline.
As a reminder, Donald Trump has recently issued multiple ultimatums to Iran demanding that it unblock the Strait of Hormuz. Otherwise, the US president has threatened to destroy the Islamic Republic's critical infrastructure.
However, in Tehran, these statements were not even taken seriously, emphasizing that the US president looks frankly pathetic.
