US Weighs Iran Strike Options After Midterm Vote
The US military is preparing for a possible strike on Iran as early as Wednesday, November 4, one day after the US midterm elections, according to The New York Times, though any action requires President Donald Trump's approval. US and Israeli planners have developed options for fresh strikes, with potential targets including Iranian energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and missile sites. The report follows an American attack on Iran's Qeshm Island on Monday, which Trump confirmed as a "minor attack" on an anti-aircraft facility. Iran has warned of retaliation, though President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran still seeks dialogue. Qatar, mediating negotiations, reported both sides remain engaged, while Trump has suggested a deal is possible despite weighing further military action.
