U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly discussed options for action against Iran, including the possibility of renewing strikes before the upcoming midterm elections in November. The discussions, detailed by NBC News citing two U.S. officials, involved members of Trump's national security team examining American strategy towards Iran and the Houthi rebels in Yemen. No decisions have been made regarding the matters raised in the security meeting.
These deliberations come as Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian announced plans to reduce consumption of electricity, gas, gasoline, water, and other energy sources. Pezeshkian stated that "a prerequisite for standing firm against the West is that everyone bears the burden of hardship." He added that if necessary, unused buildings and cultural and sports facilities would be temporarily closed to ensure the electricity and energy supply needed for production, emphasizing that "we must not allow damage to the wheels of production."
President Pezeshkian's remarks followed the U.S. military's relocation of all 12 B-1 bombers from Fairford Air Base in the UK due to concerns about potential drone attacks.
