Trump says US may launch another operation against Iran
Donald Trump said the US may launch another operation against Iran during a rally in Florida on October 23.
He said the US could instead reach an agreement, but did not give details about any possible new attack.
The conflict began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 and is nearing its eighth month.
The war has spread beyond Iran, with Israeli attacks in Lebanon and fighting affecting Gulf shipping and energy infrastructure.
Disruption in the Strait of Hormuz has sharply reduced oil and gas supplies, while higher fuel prices are weighing on US midterm elections.
US officials say a deal is still possible, with talks involving Iran’s nuclear programme, but a US representative also said a new attack could happen over the weekend.
President Donald Trump said the United States may launch another military operation or strike against Iran, while keeping open the possibility of an agreement with Tehran.
Trump said Washington might have to “finish the job” if the two countries do not reach a deal.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian blamed the United States for the breakdown of interim agreement talks but said Tehran should continue pursuing a deal.
Trump made the remarks at a campaign rally in Florida as the war approached its eight-month mark.
