Trump held his first meeting on Iran since the mid-term elections for the US Congress, Axios reports. The US president does not want to destroy the "remaining part" of the country, but does not rule out renewed attacks. The decision, according to the portal, may be made in the near future. One sign of preparation for a new offensive could be the transfer of a third aircraft carrier group to the Middle East. At the same time, the Democrats, who won a majority in Congress, intend to strive to end the war with Iran. To do so, they can cut defense spending and block administration appointments to force Trump to get approval from lawmakers to continue fighting, Reuters writes.
