U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested he may have overreached in the killing of a senior Iranian figure, according to 毎日新聞. The Japanese daily framed the remark as a possible miscalculation on Trump's part, though it did not publish the full text of his comments.
The report comes amid signs of renewed military pressure on Iran. According to ｄメニューニュース, the U.S. military is considering using one of its largest bombs in an attack on Iran. Separately, テレ朝NEWS reported that Washington and Israel held talks on resuming strikes against Iran, with Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking by phone.
Taken together, the reports point to a widening gap between the public messaging around the killing and the planning now under way. 毎日新聞's account suggests the operation has created complications for the White House rather than closing the matter. The other outlets describe preparations and consultations that indicate further action remains on the table.
