US President Donald Trump stated on Friday that a further military operation against Iran, referred to as "Epic Fury," remains a possibility as the conflict approaches its eight-month mark, though he previously indicated no new attacks would occur before the November 3 midterm elections.

The ongoing war, which began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran in late February and has since displaced millions and increased global energy costs, has prompted Iranian officials to report that Tehran has developed detailed plans to target undersea communications cables in the Gulf in the event of renewed hostilities.

President Trump stated at a Florida rally that the US may launch further military action against Iran, describing previous strikes as having "obliterated" the country's nuclear enrichment capacity. Concurrently, the State Department announced staffing reductions at four Middle Eastern embassies, citing security threats, while the Pentagon officially declared the prior "Operation Epic Fury" concluded in May despite ongoing hostilities.
