Fox News: Trump may attack Iran next Monday - Sarmad

Senior officials told U.S. Fox News that President Donald Trump met a few days ago with his national security team to discuss the possibility of resuming military operations against Iran.

The officials said meetings were held at the White House on Wednesday and Thursday of last week.

They added that next Monday coincides with the appearance of a new crescent moon in the Middle East, meaning the absence or weakness of moonlight—conditions considered suitable for military operations.

Earlier on Thursday of last week, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that Washington “will make a decision” on resuming the war.

On another front, the Iranian military confirmed it has become “stronger” and more prepared than it was when the United States and “Israel” began the war against Iran, according to media reports on Saturday.

Iran’s official news agency, IRNA, quoted military spokesperson Mohammad Akbari Nia as saying that Iranian forces “are on maximum alert and are stronger than they were at the beginning of the war, thanks to their experience in direct confrontation with America and the Zionist entity.”

The war, which erupted in late February when the United States and “Israel” launched a wide wave of strikes against Iran, has been in a stalemate for months.

U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that new strikes on Iran would be carried out this week, after U.S. media reported that airstrikes targeted Iran’s Qeshm Island.

Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported on Saturday that two missiles struck Qeshm Island, adding that there was no official information yet on the extent of the damage.
