  • Despite promising to delay strikes until after the November 3 elections, Trump issued an ominous threat regarding the conflict at a rally in Lubbock, Texas, on Tuesday.
  • Intelligence reports indicate Iran has substantially increased efforts to target American personnel, while sources suggest Trump plans to strike Iran's nuclear sites and infrastructure after elections conclude.
