US President Donald Trump stated on Friday that the United States may conduct an additional military operation against Iran, referring to it as "another little Epic Fury" without providing further details. This remark comes as the conflict approaches its eighth month, amid rising fuel prices and ahead of the US midterm elections, during which Trump previously indicated no new attacks would occur.

The ongoing US-Israeli strikes on Iran and Israeli attacks on Lebanon have reportedly resulted in thousands of deaths and displaced millions of people.
