Iran-US war latest: Trump says he doesn’t ‘really want’ peace deal as US prepares to resume strikes

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around Trump considering Iran strikes, and both say no final decision has been made. Axios is more specific about a Pentagon instruction to Central Command to finish preparations for major combat operations, while The Atlantic uses a broader headline about a plan to strike Iran before the midterms and says only that planners are weighing options.
