The United States has warned its citizens of potential flight cancellations and airspace closures in the Middle East, signaling a possible escalation of regional tensions. In a statement, the U.S. State Department urged its nationals in the region to prepare for any potential disruptions to flight schedules. These warnings come as U.S. President Donald Trump revealed he is seriously considering resuming extensive military operations against Iran, potentially larger in scale than those previously carried out. Trump clarified in an interview that he has not yet finalized his decision regarding broader strikes, but acknowledged that such an action would have repercussions. U.S. officials confirmed that no decision has been made on the matter yet, and no new military orders have been issued. Trump was quoted as saying: "I am studying a large-scale attack, bigger than ever before. I am close to making a decision, everything is ready." He indicated that Israel would join quickly if asked, but emphasized that Washington does not need anyone's help to carry out a new operation against Tehran. He also warned that Israel's involvement could have "consequences," referring to potential Iranian retaliation. Trump affirmed that the Iranians wish to negotiate but are "not ready to make a deal right now," adding: "They haven't received enough pain yet."
