Trump says US may do another military operation against Iran

Trump said the United States may strike Iran again after the vote, as fuel prices and the war’s eight-month toll weigh on his campaign.

  • At a campaign rally in Fort Myers, Florida, on Friday, President Donald Trump suggested the United States may launch "another little Epic Fury" against Iran, describing further military action as a possible policy option.
  • Launched on February 28, 2026, Operation Epic Fury has entered its eighth month, with rising energy costs weighing on voters ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.
  • Military and intelligence officials have developed contingency strategies for short, intense strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and energy infrastructure after the midterms, supported by U.S. naval deployments including the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group.
  • Tehran has threatened to target Gulf undersea communications cables and data centers if attacked, while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian plans to travel to Moscow next week to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin.
  • Trump pledged to avoid new combat operations before the November 3 elections, though intelligence reports of Iranian assassination plots and shifting rhetoric keep the region braced for potential post-election escalation.
