On October 23 local time, U.S. President Trump stated that the United States might conduct another small-scale "Epic Fury" operation, or Iran might choose to compromise. Trump said that if Iran is smart enough, they would directly say, "Let's talk business."

According to U.S. sources on the 21st, the U.S. and Israeli military have developed specific plans to strike Iran again after the November U.S. congressional midterm elections, but it is still uncertain whether Trump will approve the implementation of this plan.

On February 28, the U.S. and Israel launched military strikes against Iran. The U.S. Department of Defense stated that the name of the military strike against Iran is "Epic Fury" operation. Trump initially indicated that the military action against Iran would last "four to five weeks." However, the conflict has not yet ended, fuel prices remain high, and there is a shortage of fertilizers and commodities, while energy facilities and export routes in the Gulf region have also been severely damaged.
