The US has signaled to some Persian Gulf countries that it is ready to launch short-term but intensive military operations against Iran after the midterm elections to Congress.
Modern.az reports that “The Wall Street Journal” wrote about this, citing informed sources.
According to sources, the US and Israel are preparing to launch new strikes against Iran in the hope of weakening the positions of the Tehran government and forcing it to negotiate.
Possible targets include Iran's energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities, missile complexes, and unmanned aerial vehicles.
The publication notes that US President Donald Trump has not yet made a final decision on launching strikes. Diplomatic efforts continue.
The Presidential Administration added that Donald Trump is considering all options to ensure that Iran never acquires nuclear weapons.
US President Donald Trump stated that the decision to launch a military operation in Iran was one of the biggest decisions he had made and that he would make such a decision again.
The American leader spoke about this at a pre-election rally in Texas.
“Yesterday I was asked a very interesting question: "Would you attack Iran again?" I answered: "Of course." Isn't this one of the biggest decisions I've ever made?” – Trump said.
The US President explained that the short-term difficulties created by the conflict are necessary for long-term benefits.
He also claimed that gasoline prices would fall soon and that the supply of fuel on the market would increase.
“Gasoline will be very cheap! There will be more fuel,” – Trump promised his supporters.
