US President Donald Trump said that he is about to make an important decision regarding Iran. He pointed out that he has not yet set a date for a meeting with Netanyahu, and "we may have to resume large-scale military operations against Iran." He added: "We are approaching a crucial turning point in the war on Iran, and the decision to eliminate the Iranian regime is a major one and all options are on the table." He said: "I want to use the UN meeting to hear directly from regional allies regarding the next steps in the war, and Iran is in direct contact with the United States and is still seeking to reach an agreement." He concluded: "I am very satisfied with the success of the naval blockade in preventing Iran from exporting its oil."
