Iranian officials on Saturday threatened retaliation without geographic limits if American or Israeli strikes resume, while President Donald Trump weighs action after Tuesday elections. Mojtaba Khamenei, unseen publicly, issued written orders for prompt effective retaliation without geographic limits and more targets, and Ali Abdollahi said forces might not wait for an enemy strike. Trump said leftover sites could be handled quickly and talks were going fine though Tehran was unreliable, Marco Rubio said no decision was made, Qatar talks remained stalled, and Scott Bessent said crude loadings had stopped since late August with 144 vessels redirected.
