The United States announced on November 9 that it was considering new strikes against Iran. Fox News reported that senior U.S. officials had discussed the possibility of resuming military action against Iran, citing unnamed American officials. According to the network, President Donald Trump met with his national security team on Thursday and Friday to review the options. During a press briefing in the Oval Office, Trump said Washington would decide whether to carry out further attacks aimed at stopping Iran’s nuclear program. “I would prefer not to strike the rest of the country if possible, but I may be forced to do so,” he told reporters. “You will know soon enough.” Fox News added that the U.S. Central Command is reportedly preparing for a large‑scale operation in Iran, but that Washington has not yet issued a formal order. No independent confirmation of these claims has been released.
