Trump Weighs Iran Options After Midterm Elections

US President Donald Trump said he will soon decide whether to resume large-scale military operations against Iran, following a meeting with his national security advisers after the US midterm elections, according to Axios. The elections marked a potential turning point in Trump's calculations on launching a new wave of airstrikes against Iran to end the war. Trump is weighing three options: resuming military strikes, continuing economic pressure, or reaching a deal with major concessions to Tehran. Trump held his first post-election national security meeting on the Iran file Thursday during his weekly intelligence briefing. Separately, an Iranian official told Reuters that Tehran sent a nuclear proposal to the US via Qatar, but discussion requires Washington to meet seven Iranian demands.
