What happened
The same day, meeting Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago, he warned of a "third world war" if he did not win in November. He won. On February 28, 2026 the U.S. and Israel began striking Iran; ceasefires were declared April 8 and extended April 21 and June 12, and the Islamabad Memorandum was signed June 17, but the ceasefire collapsed on July 8, 2026. Axios reported in March 2026 that no modern president had ordered strikes on as many countries, seven, and that he authorized more individual airstrikes in 2025 than Biden did in four years.
