Trump weighs new Iran strikes as Iraq warns against using its territory

President Donald Trump met with his national security team to consider resuming military operations against Iran, with a decision expected soon. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi warned against using Iraqi territory for strikes on neighbors. Fox News reported White House meetings occurred Wednesday and Thursday, with officials citing November 9's new moon in the Middle East as favorable for operations due to minimal moonlight. Trump told journalists in the Oval Office on Thursday that Washington would soon "make a decision" on resuming the war. The deliberations follow ongoing tensions between the US and Iran, with Iraq's warning highlighting regional concerns about potential escalation. No final decision has been announced as of Thursday.
