Trump delays Iran war, then changes attack plan; Khamenei's 'sink warship' threat scares POTUS?

Published on Feb 21, 2026 12:00 am IST

Trump is no longer talking about a “big war” with Iran, but about deadlines, limited strikes and pressure tactics, even as Khamenei’s threats grow sharper and more explicit. Trump first delayed a potential Iran attack, then shifted to weighing an “initial limited military strike” designed to coerce Tehran into a nuclear deal, all while U.S. officials warn that any major assault could trigger massive Iranian retaliation and a wider Middle East war.
