Trump: Will soon decide whether to launch a large-scale military operation against Iran again

According to Axios, U.S. President Trump stated on Thursday that he will soon decide whether to launch a large-scale military operation against Iran after a meeting with his senior national security advisor. With the midterm elections over, the domestic political pressure the White House previously faced has changed, and the issue of Iran has once again become a diplomatic and security topic that the Trump administration needs to make a decision on.

Two U.S. officials revealed that this was the first time Trump specifically discussed the issue of Iran with his senior national security advisor since the midterm elections, and the meeting was scheduled during his weekly intelligence briefing.

Meanwhile, Russia is pushing to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict through another diplomatic channel. According to Reuters, Trump confirmed on Thursday that he held private talks with Putin's envoy Kirill Dmitriev that day. Trump did not disclose what he specifically discussed with Putin's envoy but stated that an agreement to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict could be reached soon.
