The U.S. news website Axios has suggested that the United States could launch a new military strike on Iran shortly after the U.S. midterm elections, unless a deal is reached. It noted that the potential military campaign could last a week and target Iranian leadership, the energy sector, and nuclear facilities.
Axios added that Qatar is working to persuade Tehran to allow UN inspectors to visit its nuclear sites in exchange for easing sanctions, as part of efforts to reach an understanding.
The website pointed out that Iran will seek approval from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for the proposals put forward in the coming days, noting that one option involves returning to the agreement Tehran reached with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Cairo.
In comments to the website, U.S. President Donald Trump said his country must “get the job done,” whether through a deal or another means, adding that he would wait to see if negotiations succeed.
Trump clarified that negotiations with Iran are being conducted through intermediaries, but he acknowledged uncertainty about whether they will bear fruit.
