Donald Trump says "Let’s say I did, would I tell you?" on possible Iran strike

At a Halloween gathering at his Palm Beach club on Saturday night, President Donald Trump briefly answered questions and reacted sharply when a reporter asked whether he expected renewed fighting with Iran in the coming week. He suggested the question came from The New York Times and declined to disclose whether military action was planned. The exchange came amid reported indications that Washington could resume strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and infrastructure after Tuesday's elections, which will decide party control of Congress. Two diplomats told the Associated Press that Gulf partners were told to get ready for a brief, heavy campaign, and Trump reportedly consulted senior military officials last week. The matter is significant because the war, now in its eighth month, has caused U.S. casualties, high costs and rising fuel prices, and polls show it is unpopular.
