'Finger on trigger': Trump has not decided on large-scale attacks against Iran, sources tell 'Post'
“We’re locked and loaded,” Trump told reporters on Friday about the possibility of continuing the attacks against Iran, while no new strikes were reported during the day
Assessment
The Trump administration's posture toward Iran remains deliberately ambiguous, with public threats of military action contradicted by the absence of new strikes. This creates uncertainty about whether the rhetoric is a negotiating tactic or a prelude to escalation. The key question is whether diplomatic channels remain open or if the window for de-escalation is closing.
