Trump considered bombing Iran again - WSJ

Apr 22, 2026, 02:29 GMT+1

The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that US President Donald Trump recently questioned aides about the possibility of bombing Iran again, before deciding to maintain sustained pressure on Tehran.

"Trump administration officials say they are prepared to wait. "Maximum pressure worked before, and it will work again," one senior US official said, referring to the first Trump term," the report said.

"Trump and his team split the difference: maintain pressure on Iran indefinitely until they make a concrete offer to the US after that, the president could gauge whether negotiations could proceed of if he would have to order a news wave of strikes on the Islamic Republic," the report added.
