Washington is reportedly considering more strikes on Tehran as diplomatic talks continue and Israel grapples with political uncertainty
US President Donald Trump spoke by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday morning, checking in amid preparations for possible strikes on Iran, the Wall Street Journal has reported, citing people familiar with the call.
According to the WSJ, Trump had earlier held another meeting with senior military commanders at the White House to discuss options for resuming major combat operations. Over the past few weeks, multiple media outlets have reported that the US could resume strikes on Iran after the November 3 midterm elections.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to bomb Iran, warning of “another little Epic Fury” if Tehran fails to meet his peace terms. US officials have reportedly warned Arab allies hosting American military bases to prepare for a short but intense operation.
Asked at a Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago in Florida on Saturday night whether he expected to “go back to war with Iran” in the coming weeks, Trump replied: “Let’s say I did – would I tell you? I can’t tell you this.”
