Donald Trump is reportedly on the “knife-edge” of starting a new war in the Middle East, with The iPaper reporting Tuesday that officials are scrambling behind-the-scenes to stop it.
On Trump’s orders, the U.S. military is currently building up a “massive” deployment of naval hardware in the Persian Gulf, the outlet explained. The president has been inching closer to an all-out conflict with Iran since bombing three of its nuclear facilities last summer. More recently, he has threatened to take military action against the Middle Eastern nation in response to reports that the government has brutally cracked down on recent nationwide protests, allegedly killing thousands in the process.
“If we don’t make a deal, we’ll see what happens,” Trump said of the situation on Friday.
