According to the American television channel Fox News, the United States is considering November 9, 2026 as a possible date for resuming attacks on Iran. The reason for this particular date is that on November 9th there is a new moon in the Middle East. Sources in American circles point out that the almost complete absence of moonlight creates "favorable conditions" for night military operations. US President Donald Trump held meetings with his national security team on November 4 and 5 to discuss options for moving forward, including resuming strikes, increasing economic pressure or reaching a deal.
