Trump hints at further military operation against Iran
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 24 Oct, 01:03 · Archive
US President Donald Trump says the US may launch another military operation against Iran, without elaborating.
President Donald Trump said at a rally in Florida that the US may carry out another military operation against Iran, referring to it as 'another little Epic Fury'. He did not elaborate on the proposal. Earlier on Friday, Trump said the US could end the war quickly but questioned whether Washington should seek a swift conclusion or allow the conflict to gradually wind down. He told reporters that oil is moving through the Strait of Hormuz and stated 'We are getting everything we want'.
France's foreign minister Jean-Noel Barrot warned against renewed escalation. 'A further escalation between Iran and the United States would leave no winners and would likely have very serious consequences for hydrocarbon prices,' he told reporters in Istanbul after a meeting with counterparts from Britain, Germany, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. US-Israeli strikes on Iran and Israeli attacks on Lebanon have killed thousands and displaced millions.
Separately, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian will travel to Russia next week to meet President Vladimir Putin. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the presidential meeting would follow up on discussions held during Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's visit to Tehran earlier in the week.
