Trump 7 month 8 day (local time) said of Iran, “We’ll probably attack again Wednesday night.” The first remark pointed to a specific time and left open the possibility of additional military action.
In another remark the same day, Trump also said, “I don’t think the conflict with Iran will start again.” The two remarks came on the same day: one implied immediate military action, while the other denied the possibility of an all-out conflict.
Both remarks were confirmed to have been made on 7 month 8 day. Interpretations are diverging because the timing and wording of the remarks differ.
