President Donald Trump said the US may carry out another military operation against Iran, without elaborating. The war has raised oil and gas prices around the world, and Iranian officials said Tehran plans a wider retaliation if fighting resumes.
Trump told a rally in Florida, “We may do another little Epic Fury,” using the US military’s term for its war on Iran. He did not elaborate. Earlier Friday, Trump said the US could end the war quickly but questioned whether to seek a swift conclusion or let the conflict wind down gradually.
The US and Israel attacked Iran on February 28, and Iran responded with strikes on Israel and Gulf states hosting US bases. US-Israeli strikes on Iran and Israeli attacks on Lebanon have killed thousands and displaced millions. The conflict has raised oil and gas prices around the world. Iranian officials said Tehran plans a wider retaliation if the war resumes; two senior Iranian security officials said Iran has prepared detailed plans to target undersea communications cables in the Gulf if the US and Israel attack again.
