Trump says US 'in no hurry' on Iran strike decision

US President Trump has repeatedly threatened military strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities, including 'Pickaxe Mountain', with some reports suggesting a post-midterm election timeline. While Trump indicates ongoing negotiations, his rhetoric signals a potential shift towards military action, creating a rift with Israeli PM Netanyahu over timing. The credibility of these threats and the operational intent remain uncertain, with Iran warning of a prolonged conflict.

The US administration is reportedly considering military strikes against Iran following the upcoming US elections, with warnings issued to regional leaders to prepare for potential US action and Iranian retaliation. While President Trump has publicly stated the US is 'in no hurry' regarding a strike decision, multiple unconfirmed reports suggest a potential link between a strike authorization and Republican midterm election outcomes. The timing and motivation remain highly uncertain, with no official confirmation of strike plans.
