The US may launch a military operation against Iran as early as November 9. Fox News Donald Trump held a meeting with his national security team to discuss further action against Tehran. According to the channel, the US Central Command is nearing the end of preparations for a possible operation, but a final order has not yet been given. November 9 is considered a possible start date for the operation due to the new moon in the Middle East. The absence of moonlight, according to American officials, creates favorable conditions for military action. Caravans: |.
