"I am considering a massive attack. Bigger than ever before. I am close to making a decision. We are all set for it," the US president told Axios on Thursday.
Israel "would join in two minutes if I ask them to," but the US doesn't "need anybody" for the potential new round of aggression, Trump added.
Trump reiterated claims that Iran wants to negotiate, but said "they haven't received enough pain yet."
The president's latest threats follow his Truth Social warning that the US would "hold Iran responsible" for Houthi targeting of ships in the Red Sea.
Separately on Thursday, Iran's military announced that it had destroyed a THAAD radar and Patriot missile system at a US base in Jordan.
Also this week, Trump threatened to ramp up the targeting of Iranian bridges and power plants if Iran didn't let up on its targeting of ships trying to evade its de facto blockade in Hormuz Strait.
