US preparing to resume bombing Iran, says Wall Street Journal

WASHINGTON: The United States is preparing to resume bombing Iran, according to the American newspaper the Wall Street Journal.

The newspaper reported that military action could begin after the US midterm elections.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said action remained to be taken against one or two more Iranian nuclear sites. He said that, if necessary, these sites could be struck within 10 minutes.

Speaking at a Halloween party at his residence in Florida, Trump said Iran makes an agreement and then backs out. He said, “Let us see whether they make a deal or not. We are in no hurry.”

Trump said, “We have destroyed Iran’s navy, air force, air defence system, production capabilities and nuclear programme.”
