U.S. President Donald Trump was asked overnight Tuesday into Wednesday, Israel time, whether additional strikes against Iran could take place following the November 3 midterm elections. His response was brief: “Anything is possible.”

Speaking to reporters, Trump said: “I think we're in a very good position with Iran. The question is when I want to end this. They want to reach a deal, but they like to drag things out.”

U.S. Reportedly Preparing for Possible Military Operation

U.S. media reports indicate that the Trump administration has urged several Arab Gulf states to prepare for a potential “short and intense” military operation following the November 3 midterm elections.

According to The Wall Street Journal, diplomatic and military discussions are among several indications that Washington and Jerusalem are preparing for possible high-intensity military action against Tehran, aimed at pressuring Iran into negotiations.

The newspaper emphasized that Trump has not yet made a final decision on whether to proceed with the operation, although he is reportedly leaning toward supporting a large-scale attack.
