Republican defense hawks are urging President Trump to initiate major combat operations as he considers a “massive attack” on Iran. This push comes amid escalating rhetoric from Trump against the Islamic Republic and a complete breakdown in negotiations.

The situation is further complicated by Iran-aligned Houthis in Yemen, who have been striking commercial vessels in the Red Sea, raising concerns about the conflict spreading beyond its current scope. These developments highlight growing tensions in the region and increasing pressure on the U.S. administration to respond decisively.
