Trump says Iran war will end soon, but senators are briefed on possible new strikes after midterms

Senators were briefed today on Trump’s reported plan to restart military operations against Iran following the November 3 midterm elections. Senator Chris Murphy described the proposal as devastating. Trump, meanwhile, says the war will be wrapped up soon, while demanding guarantees that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon. On October 28, the Associated Press reported that US officials had warned Middle Eastern allies to prepare for possible renewed American strikes and Iranian retaliation after the elections. Washington is publicly talking about ending the war while privately preparing allies for another round of attacks.
