President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social a problem he is considering, “Do I Want to Go In and Annihilate Them or Do I Not?”
Internally, there are increasing reports of uprisings, and government “officials” abandoning their positions, but so far, no massive uprising has taken place. With congress recently passing a resolution aimed at stopping the Iran war, the President might have a limited window to operate in, one that needs to end with a pro-American government.

EXCERPT:
The president has a long track record of letting us know what he’s thinking.
Barak Ravid: President Trump told Axios Thursday that he’s approaching a critical juncture in the Iran war over whether to restart massive attacks in an effort to bring the conflict to a close. “I have a big decision coming up. Do I want to go in and annihilate them [the Iranian regime] or do I not? It’s a big decision. Anything could happen with me.” Though Trump has made similar threats before, his comments come ahead of a planned meeting Tuesday with leaders from six Gulf countries — Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman — on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. The meeting could shape the next phase of the war, including whether to make another push for diplomacy or intensify military action. If Trump wants to resume major combat operations, he would need buy-in from his regional allies…. What he’s saying: Trump made clear in the interview that he wants to use the meeting at the UN to hear directly from regional allies about the war’s next steps. “I want to find out where they are and how they are doing. We have been very protective of them,” Trump said (Axios).
The Iranian people are waiting for that moment. They are dying for it.

Trump says he has a ‘big decision’ coming up on Iran: ‘Do I want to go in and annihilate them?’

President Trump said Thursday that he was at a crossroads over whether to renew attacks in Iran to wipe out the regime and bring the war to an end.
“I have a big decision coming up. Do I want to go in and annihilate them or do I not?” he told Axios. “It’s a big decision. Anything could happen with me.”
Trump’s comments echo previous threats he’s levied against Tehran since the war began.
But this time, he said, his next move is likely to be influenced by his meetings with Gulf allies at next week’s United Nations General Assembly meeting.
“I want to find out where they are and how they are doing. We have been very protective of them,” Trump added.
