Trump Says Intensified Bombing of Iran Possible After Midterms

U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that he could intensify the bombing of Iran following the midterm elections scheduled for the 3rd of next month.

In an interview with the U.S. news magazine Time released on the 1st local time, President Trump answered "It's possible" when asked whether he would increase the intensity of the bombing against Iran after the midterms.

President Trump also reaffirmed his previous remarks made at the United Nations General Assembly that he could utterly destroy Iran.

"We have plenty of weapons. We've been stockpiling them for the past six months," he said, dismissing an official Pentagon report regarding ammunition shortages as "mostly fake news."

Regarding his recent rejection of a so-called "seven-day plan" proposed by Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, President Trump explained, "They made an offer to open the strait," adding, "That offer simply wasn't enough."
