President Donald Trump said Thursday he will soon decide whether to order more major strikes on Iran after White House talks on the next phase of the conflict. He told Oval Office reporters that extra action could be required to keep Iran from rebuilding a nuclear weapons program, though he would rather limit further damage if possible. Those comments came after meetings with national security advisers following Republican midterm losses that Trump partly tied to gasoline prices from the fighting, which he continued to defend. Vice President JD Vance has instead urged diplomacy and blamed the operation for the election setback. Qatar is mediating while Iran reviews proposals and sent one via Doha, as U.S. Central Command keeps planning without a new order and the USS Theodore Roosevelt moves toward the Middle East.
