Trump Signals More Iran Strikes — ‘We May Do It a Little Bit Further’
President Donald Trump warned Thursday that the United States may launch further strikes against Iran, as Washington and Israel prepare for a possible new offensive following the November midterm elections.
“We’ve knocked the hell out of them. And we may do it a little bit further,” Trump told reporters.
Asked how the war with Iran could affect the midterm elections, Trump acknowledged the political costs of military action but defended his decision to confront Tehran.

“One way, they love it because I’m doing what should have been done by other presidents. And another way, maybe they don’t. There’s a price to pay, which I knew immediately when I did it,” he said.
“But we can’t let Iran have a nuclear weapon,” Trump insisted.
