Trump says no Iran talks, hints at action 'fairly soon'

US President Donald Trump said Washington is not negotiating with Iran, hinting that "something" will happen "fairly soon" in the ongoing conflict. He made the remarks before boarding Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews. The United States and Israel have drawn up plans for possible renewed military strikes on Iran following the US midterm elections on November 3, according to The New York Times. Possible targets include Iranian energy sites, nuclear facilities, and missile and drone arsenals. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy reported that four vessels involved in alleged illegal oil transfers were hit by mines near the Persian Gulf, with three more colliding with mines west of Hormuz. The IRGC warned that continued provocations could trigger a wider response against American bases.
