Trump says he faces 'big decision' on whether to 'annihilate' Iranian regime

In a phone interview with Axios's Barak Ravid, President Trump stated he is approaching a 'big decision' on whether to resume large-scale attacks on Iran, saying 'Do I want to go in and annihilate them or do I not? It's a big decision. Anything could happen with me.' The remarks came before a planned meeting with Gulf leaders at the UN General Assembly and as the war neared its seventh month. Officials warned the current military holding pattern was unsustainable. Trump also touted the naval blockade, claiming 'Not one ship has gone to Iran since we started.'
