U.S. President Donald Trump is considering renewed military action against Iran while weighing whether to seek a rapid end to the conflict or allow it to continue at a lower intensity, according to reports from Reuters, France 24 and other outlets.
Trump said Friday that the United States might launch “another little Epic Fury,” referring to the joint U.S.-Israeli operation that began the war in late February, France 24 reported. U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack separately said strikes could resume as early as this weekend and suggested the conflict could last another year, according to The Hindu and headlines from CBS News and Salon. Barrack does not have a direct role in Iran policy.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Saturday that many Iranians were struggling to afford food because of wartime conditions. He called for an end to what he described as a “state of neither war nor peace,” without specifying a path forward.
The United States has recently reduced military operations while increasing economic pressure, including restrictions on Iranian ports, oil exports and trade. A ceasefire mediated mainly by Pakistan in June collapsed soon afterwards, with both sides accusing the other of violations. Since then, U.S. forces have conducted sporadic strikes, while Iran has attacked vessels attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz.
A Revolutionary Guards spokesman said Iran was prepared to respond to any new attack and warned that even limited U.S. action would draw a larger response.
