President Donald Trump says the United States is approaching a decision on whether to pursue a deal with Iran or resume military strikes. Multiple outlets report that Trump links the timing to coming political developments and ongoing regional threats.
National Post reports Trump suggests strikes could resume after the Nov. 3 midterm elections and says he has sent additional forces. Breitbart similarly frames Trump’s remarks around a choice between making a deal and “finish[ing] them off,” adding that U.S. commanders are preparing new strike options amid escalating threats. Bloomberg, while using the same core premise, emphasizes the idea of “decision time” and places it in the context of growing Iranian and Houthi threats to Americans in the Middle East.
