Trump holds meeting to discuss large-scale offensive against Iran

President Trump convened a meeting in the White House Situation Room on July 14 to discuss a large-scale offensive against Iran, Axios reported, citing three sources. The operation would reportedly be much broader in scope than the current airstrikes underway in the Strait of Hormuz area. Trump is said to be willing to escalate the conflict to exert enough pressure on the Iranian regime to open the Strait of Hormuz and accept his demands on its nuclear program.
