What to know

  • Trump denied negotiations with Iran are happening and said 'something' military-related will occur 'fairly soon,' with most observers expecting action after the November 3 elections.
  • US and Israeli forces have drawn up plans for renewed strikes targeting Iranian energy sites, nuclear facilities, and weapons, though Trump approval is uncertain given his pattern of vetoing major combat operations.
  • The Strait of Hormuz remains a point of contention between the US and Iran, with a June peace memorandum stalled over navigation disputes; IRGC Navy separately reported seizing vessels and warned of regional retaliation.

“No, I think we're not negotiating. We are going to have something one way or the other that'll happen fairly soon.”
