‘Likely decide by Sunday’: Trump gives ‘50/50’ odds that he blows Iran ‘to kingdom come’

Amid growing speculation that the Trump administration is preparing to resume hostilities with Iran this weekend, President Donald Trump revealed Saturday that a final decision would likely be made by Sunday, with there being a “solid” chance that the United States would “blow [Iran] to kingdom come,” according to Axios.

Axios reporter Barak Ravid revealed Trump’s remarks after claiming to have had a phone call with the president Saturday morning, the details of which he expanded on in the outlet’s exclusive report.

“Trump said it was a ‘solid 50/50’ as to whether he would be able to make a ‘good’ deal or else ‘blow them to kingdom come,’” Ravid wrote in Axios’ report.

According to Axios, Trump is expected to meet with his son-in-law Jared Kushner, U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and Vice President JD Vance later on Saturday to discuss Iran’s latest peace proposal, which included a proposal to fully re-open the Strait of Hormuz, Drop Site News reported.
