According to the Wall Street Journal, the US has told some Gulf Arab states to prepare for a short, intense military campaign after the midterm elections, and the Pentagon is evacuating US personnel from Middle East bases where they could be at risk. President Donald Trump has not made a final decision but is leaning toward a large-scale strike that could target Iran's infrastructure and nuclear facilities. Meanwhile, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei called for meeting Iran's conditions to end the war and the state of “no war, no peace,” and discussed with Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei maintaining control of the Strait of Hormuz. The US and Israel attacked Iran from Feb. 28; after a June ceasefire memorandum, the US resumed large-scale strikes on the night of July 8, accusing Tehran of violating the Hormuz terms. The strait carries about 25% of global oil and about 20% of global LNG.

- Trump says he'll soon decide whether to ‘make a deal’ with Iran or ‘finish it off'
U.S. President Donald Trump said in a Fox News interview on Sunday that he is deciding whether to “make a deal” with Iran or “finish it off,” adding that it is “getting to be decision time.” Qatari mediators visited Tehran on Sunday as Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia continued over the weekend. The last confirmed U.S. strikes on Iran were on Sept. 1, and Trump had previously said strikes would not resume until after the Nov. 3 midterm elections. Trump named Pickaxe Mountain, a deeply buried site linked to Iran's nuclear program, as a potential target and repeated his claim that the U.S. controls the Strait of Hormuz, while Tehran says it is preparing a military response to any U.S. attacks. Senior officials from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan are set to meet Iran's leadership in Tehran on Monday, the first meeting of their group since Houthi strikes on Saudi targets.
- Oil declines from six - month high as traders assess Mideast risks
Oil fell after hitting a six-month high last week, with Brent dropping below US$115 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate near US$101 as the US and Iran repeated familiar rhetoric. Brent has surged almost 90% so far in 2026 as the Middle East war disrupted flows, and its 14-day relative-strength index topped 74 on Friday (Oct 23), above the 70 level some traders see as a pullback signal. Tensions are rising as fighting continues between Iran-backed Houthis and Saudi Arabia, and Trump has hinted at possible strikes after the US midterms on Nov 3. Commonwealth Bank of Australia analyst Vivek Dhar said Brent may need to reach US$150 a barrel to force demand destruction in emerging Asian economies, even though crude shipments through the Strait of Hormuz have recovered to near pre-war levels. Rystad Energy's Jorge Leon said markets are pricing in escalation risk after the US midterms, when Washington may feel less constrained by the political cost of higher oil prices.
- Psychological terror , Trump : I will attack , Obama intervenes - Iran : New proposal is a lie , fiery hell in the Persian Gulf and Israel
Brent crude is trading at $117 per barrel as tensions in the Persian Gulf continue. President Trump said he may “finish the job” and an attack could come tomorrow, while also suggesting Iran might make a deal. Iran denied an Al Arabiya report that it offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for lifting the naval blockade, saying its only position is its 7-point plan already delivered to Washington. Iran warned that any new war would strike all infrastructure, including civilian, in the Emirates and Israel. Former President Obama said Iran had no nuclear weapons and that Trump started an unnecessary war, pointing to attacks on allies and bases and depleted missile stockpiles after 7 months.
- Trump says US could attack Iran 'as soon as tomorrow' or reach a major deal
US President Donald Trump said Washington is considering a strike on Iran that could come as early as tomorrow, while leaving open the possibility of a deal with Tehran. He said his goal is to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons in the long term, and argued that an earlier US campaign using B-2 bombers was not enough to ensure lasting results. Trump also said oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz had risen compared with before the conflict, without providing specific figures. Earlier, US envoy Tom Barrack said a strike could happen this weekend. The conflict between the US, Israel and Iran began in February and has spread across the Middle East, yet nearly nine months later the sides have not found a way to end the tensions.
- US-Iran Conflict: When Time Becomes a Weapon
Neither the US nor Iran wants to make the first concession, leaving talks deadlocked and escalation risks in place. Citing three senior Iranian officials and an anonymous insider, Reuters reported Iran is prolonging negotiations to hurt President Donald Trump before the November 3 US congressional elections, though Iran has not publicly confirmed this. The sticking point is sequencing: the US wants Iran's nuclear program on the table first, while Iran prioritizes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, lifting the blockade of its ports, ending oil export sanctions and halting fighting. Kpler data recorded at least 18 ship attacks in the past two weeks, with the risk reaching the Gulf of Oman, and analysts see a step-by-step deal with verification as more realistic than an immediate breakthrough.
- US and Israel Plan Renewed Strikes on Iran Post - Midterms ; Tehran Threatens Father of All Bombs
According to The New York Times, the US and Israel have drawn up specific plans for a short but intensive strike campaign on Iran's energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities and missile and drone arsenals, to be carried out after the US midterm elections. The US is assembling a major force, including three aircraft carriers, thousands of Marines, fighter jets and Special Operations units, expected to be fully in place by early November. Some US officials argue another round after nearly eight months of conflict could push Iran's economy to the brink and force diplomatic concessions, while Washington reportedly sees the threat as leverage in talks over Iran's nuclear programme and the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran has threatened to unveil a weapon it calls the 'father of all bombs' without giving details, and warned that renewed fighting could hit data centres and undersea internet cables. Whether Trump will approve the attack remains uncertain, and Israel's October 27 election could complicate the timing.
