[Trump Says He Faces Key Decision on War Against Iran, Will Consult with Leaders of Six Gulf States at UN General Assembly Next Week on Post-War Arrangements] In an interview, Trump stated that he is facing a critical crossroads in the war against Iran, needing to decide whether to resume large-scale military action to end the conflict. He said, "I'm about to make a major decision—to go deep and completely destroy the Iranian regime, or not to do it? It's a major decision, anything can happen." It is reported that Trump plans to meet with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman next Tuesday during the UN General Assembly in New York, focusing on discussing the US post-war strategic vision to determine whether the next phase should be to advance diplomatic negotiations or escalate military action. If Trump decides to resume large-scale combat, he will need the support of regional allies. The White House is developing a post-war plan, expected to be finalized after the US midterm elections in November. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu also hopes to meet with Trump in New York, but no meeting has been arranged yet.
