President Donald Trump told Time magazine that further military action against Iran was possible after the Nov. 3 elections, in an interview published Thursday and conducted Monday, and declined to provide details about his plans when pressed. His comments came as the U.S. military was moving roughly 9,000 personnel aboard ships toward the Middle East, according to a U.S. official who spoke Thursday; the vessels carry more than 7,000 sailors and 2,000 Marines, including the Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group and the Makin Island amphibious readiness group, and could bring three carriers to the region by late October. Trump also said he rejected Iran's latest truce proposal as inadequate and that preliminary information pointed to possible Iranian involvement in Wednesday's stabbing and attempted crash of an Israel-bound flight, saying the U.S. would retaliate if a connection is established.
