Tehran strikes Iranian Kurdish base in Iraq with drones, report says

As weeks have passed without significant conflict between the United States and Iran, President Donald Trump has once again indicated a possibility of a renewed attack on Tehran, warning it "may be tomorrow." The president made the remarks during an address to reporters in Washington, emphasizing that he would decide on the further course of action following the US midterm elections, scheduled for November 3rd.

He stated that he could have opted for a "B2 bomber thing a year ago and left," but his current approach aims to make the situation permanent, as Iran may have devised ways to develop a nuclear bomb over time. Trump claimed that his military has achieved remarkable success, noting that Iran now has no fighter jets left, an accomplishment he attributed to the U.S. military.

He further revealed that more oil is passing through the Strait of Hormuz than before the war began, and Iran is currently grappling with record-high inflation, with an annual rate of approximately 301%, according to Trump's calculations. However, Reuters reported earlier this week that Iran's inflation rate in September was 73.6%, and the rial currency has depreciated by around 35% against the dollar since Washington reimposed naval sanctions in July.
