During a 90-minute campaign rally in Fort Myers, Florida, President Donald Trump vowed to address his concerns regarding Cuba once the war with Iran is settled. Al-Monitor reports that Trump used the event, held in an area with a significant Cuban American voting bloc, to repeat that more military action against Iran may be forthcoming as he seeks to address rising oil prices ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.

Trump suggested that the United States may launch "another little Epic Fury," a term he used to refer to the joint Israeli-American military operation that began the war with Iran in late February, according to France 24. Arutz Sheva - Israel National News reported that the President stated another operation is possible, adding that if Iran is "smart" they will "get down to business," though he expressed doubt they would do so.
