## Summary

Two anonymous US officials said President Donald Trump was considering a major operation against Iran, potentially after the US midterm elections. They said targets could include energy, nuclear and military facilities, and the report matters because it points to a possible escalation as tensions rise across the region.

The officials said US forces could begin operations within 96 hours of an order, while additional forces were reportedly being deployed. Trump said there was “a possibility” of another strike, as well as a possibility of reaching an agreement. The report also cites US intelligence warnings about Iranian efforts to target American personnel and recent changes to embassy staffing and government travel in the Middle East.
