Trump says US may do another military operation against Iran

Trump said Washington could launch another strike if Iran does not reach a deal, as fuel costs and election politics weigh on the conflict.

  • President Donald Trump suggested at a Fort Myers rally on Friday that Washington may launch another military operation against Iran, declaring, "We may do another little Epic Fury," if Tehran fails to reach a diplomatic agreement.
  • This potential action would follow "Operation Epic Fury," the military offensive launched by the U.S. and Israel on February 28, 2026, which has continued for nearly eight months and strained regional stability.
  • While Trump pledged to avoid strikes before the November 3 midterm elections, Brent crude recently hovered between $103 and $105 per barrel, reflecting ongoing energy market volatility affecting U.S. voters.
  • Tehran has warned that any renewed attack would prompt retaliation against undersea communication cables and energy facilities in the Gulf, even as Iranian officials maintain they remain open to finalizing a peace deal with Washington.
  • The Pentagon has presented the president with various strike options for after the elections, as American naval assets remain positioned in the Middle East to facilitate potential kinetic action or support continued diplomatic efforts.
