Trump Considers Military Action Against Iran Amid Ongoing Diplomatic EffortsPreviousNext

Following the US midterm elections, President Donald Trump met with his national security team to decide on resuming military operations against Iran. Trump stated the US military is "locked and loaded" for potential strikes but expressed a preference to avoid further destruction, saying, "maybe I'll have to." Diplomatic efforts continue, with Iran reportedly submitting a nuclear proposal via Qatar. US Central Command is preparing for possible action, while regional mediators engage in talks to build mutual trust and explore a deal.
