As the West Asia unrest nears almost five months, US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he does not expect hostilities to get fired up again, though a report by Axios says the White House is leaving nothing to chance.
Quoting a US official, Axios reported that the Trump administration is preparing for a new round of "exchange of fire" that could drag on for days, or even weeks leading up to another month. The "multi-day" or "multi-week" strike, according to the news outlet, would most likely be over control of the Strait of Hormuz, that has remained a point of contention through the war and all efforts of, and negotiations around, peace.
