Iran's supreme leader calls for an ‘immediate and impactful reaction' to any attack on the US.Iran's supreme leader urges ‘immediate and impactful' response to any attack on the US. In a Saturday letter to Iran's armed forces, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged them to have a "response that is immediate, impactful, and geographically unrestricted" to any "level or type of threat" that might arrive from Iran.

He also gave the military instructions to update its target database so that the “all kinds of physical and non-physical assets of the U.S.-Zionist enemy” would be accessible to Iranian forces—referring to American and Israeli interests.

Reports from The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times indicate the US military is preemptively preparing for the possibility of renewed action against Iran after the November 3 midterm elections, although America has yet to confirm it has plans to take a fresh swing at Iran.

Trump says that the US had won a huge victory in Iran war.

On Sunday, Trump sounded confident when addressing the Right Side Broadcasting Network, saying the U.S. had already won a big battle in the conflict.

We have had a great win, and we are wiping it off pretty soon,” he added, “one way or the other.

“They will come to a deal or we'll just end it,” he added.

According to Tucker Carlson, Trump is in a position to be pressured by Netanyahu into launching nuclear strikes against Iran.

As the war continues, Tucker Carlson, a conservative media figure, has warned that this week Trump might order a nuclear strike against Iran, claiming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing Washington to return to military action against Tehran.

Carlson, who has long been a close ally of Trump but has turned into a vocal critic, made the statements in a post on X on Sunday.

He indicated that Netanyahu was trying to convince Trump to rejoin the U.S.-Israel military offensive against Iran, which could include the underground complex at Pickaxe Mountain, near Natanz in Iran.

Carlson also claimed that after the election results last week, Netanyahu's political fortunes were increasingly tied to renewed US military action.

The Israeli Prime Minister is likely to have trouble forming a government if he lacks the backing of Trump to do so, Carlson said, and thus has a tremendous incentive to go to war.
