Trump says US may launch another military operation against Iran

nv.ua (Ukrainian) — October 24, 2026 at 04:01 AM UTC

US President Donald Trump said the United States may conduct another military operation against Iran, mentioning a potential "small operation" called "Epic Fury" during a campaign rally in Florida on Friday, October 23. Trump made the statement while discussing the war with Iran, according to Reuters. The New York Times reported on October 21 that the US and Israel are preparing plans for a short but intense military operation that could begin after the US midterm elections. US officials said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week to discuss possible new attacks. Potential targets include Iran's energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and missile and drone stockpiles. Some officials believe another wave of strikes could critically damage Iran's economy and force concessions, though doubts remain about the outcome compared to previous attacks from February to April.
