Trump threatens renewed bombing of Iran after midterms and suggests Iran may be linked to attempted plane crash

In a TIME magazine interview, President Trump said renewed large-scale bombing of Iran after the November midterm elections was "possible" and rejected Tehran's latest ceasefire proposal as insufficient. He stated he did not think "I don't think you could ever have peace" with Iran and that he had "no choice" but to confront Tehran to prevent it from obtaining nuclear weapons. Separately, speaking to reporters, Trump suggested the FlyDubai co-pilot who attempted to crash an Israel-bound passenger plane was linked to Iran "based on what I'm hearing," and threatened that Iran would be "hit very hard" if the connection were confirmed. The comments came amid a seven-month U.S.-Iran war and a buildup of U.S. naval forces in the region.
