Trump warns Iran may ‘do a little bit extra’

On Saturday, US President Donald Trump warned that Iran might take "a little bit extra" actions before the November 3 midterm elections, amid escalating tensions between the two nations. During a rally in Clarksville, Tennessee, Trump said that Iran appeared to be "calming down" but still believed that they might try to "do a little bit extra" before the election, believing it would hurt the US.

However, Trump stated that the US could "end it really quick" if necessary. He noted that Iran is in poor economic and military conditions and that the US would not launch an attack prior to the midterm elections. Trump also hinted at potential military action against the Houthis following their attack on the Riyadh airport, stating that the decision would be made later.
