Former US President Donald Trump has issued fresh threats against Iran, stating at an Iowa rally that military action may be necessary while claiming he previously refrained from strikes to save lives. Multiple Israeli sources report that Trump is examining the readiness of senior Pentagon officials and considering renewed military operations potentially after the upcoming elections.

Israeli officials have reportedly pressed Trump to target Iran’s strategic facilities, particularly the site referred to as “Pickaxe Mountain,” which Tehran has publicly identified as a critical strategic asset. Israeli and American officials reportedly have contingency plans prepared for potential military escalation against Iran.

The Atlantic has reported that further attacks could resume following the US elections, highlighting the volatile nature of US-Iran relations. Trump’s statements come amid ongoing tensions over Iran’s nuclear programme and regional activities, with the threat level appearing to increase as the political situation develops.
