- US President Reportedly Tells Aides He Expects Military Operations Against Iran to Resume After November Midterms
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has rejected an Iranian proposal for a seven-day ceasefire and has told aides that he expects US bombing operations against Iran to resume after the November midterm elections, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal, citing US officials.
The officials, as cited by the newspaper, said Trump remains reluctant to launch major renewed combat operations, while the potential scope and intensity of any future strikes remain unclear.
They also cautioned that the President’s position could change, including in response to developments on the ground or the outcome of the November midterm elections.
The report comes amid continuing diplomatic and military tensions between Washington and Tehran, with efforts to establish a temporary ceasefire facing significant uncertainty.
According to the officials cited by The Wall Street Journal, the administration has yet to determine the scale of any possible future military action, leaving the timing and nature of renewed operations uncertain.
