  "account": "The US government, under President Donald Trump, is reportedly considering launching new attacks against targets in Iran as part of their ongoing, intractable war in the Middle East. According to the news portal \"Axios\" and US broadcaster NBC News, the decision to resume significant military operations in the coming weeks, perhaps even before the upcoming US midterm elections on November 3rd, has not yet been made. However, discussions about potential new attacks were reportedly held as recently as last week, with members of Trump's national security team meeting in Camp David, Maryland, to discuss the strategy concerning Iran and the Houthi militia in Yemen. The military had since prepared additional options for further action in Iran, which should be reviewed by Trump. The White House has asked the Pentagon to develop options for attacks on Iranian targets before the midterm elections. Should larger military interventions resume, they would likely involve \"massive bombings of Iranian energy, infrastructure, and nuclear facilities,\" according to \"Axios\" citing insiders. The US war in the Middle East is unpopular among Americans due to rapidly rising living costs and fuel prices resulting from the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. This escalation of the war could further drive up oil prices, which have already increased in recent months due to disrupted trade in the Strait.",
