Trump weighs deal or more strikes against Iran

Topping world news, the director of national intelligence is warning Iran has, quote, substantially increased efforts to target U.S. personnel with potential attempts to kill Americans reaching, quote, advanced stages abroad. Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst is tracking the threat from Tel Aviv. That's right. A new intelligence memo warns that Iran is ramping up efforts to target U.S. personnel. The memo was reportedly sent on Friday by DNI Jake Sullivan to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The report said, quote, the lethal plotting efforts by the Iranians against U.S. citizens have reached advanced stages in both the Middle East and certain other countries. This comes as the State Department pulled non-essential staff from Saudi Arabia and is currently evaluating the staffing at embassies across the Middle East. President Trump told Fox News this morning he's considering his next steps in the conflict with Iran. Now my question is, do I make a deal with him or do I finish him off. It's unclear how renewed strikes would be different from what was already conducted during Operation Epic Fury. The Iranians maintain they are ready for what they call a fourth war. It tells you who this regime is. So where are we with it? The president mentioned two courses of action. One, they're going to make a deal, or two, we're going to finish it. The problem with making a deal, they will cheat, they will not comply. Right now, the Israeli military is on high alert ahead of the country's elections on Tuesday. There our concerns about the possibility of an Iranian or Iranian proxy attack during this sensitive time period. The Israeli military is prepared both defensively and offensively to have intelligence indications that our enemies, Iran and its proxies, may try to challenge us with attacks aimed at disrupting the elections. And I warn them, don't test us. Reports indicate the Israelis and the Americans are mapping out plans to resume major combat operations against Iran after the midterm elections in the United States. In Tel Aviv, Trey Yingst, Fox News. In other world headlines tonight, more than half a dozen people are dead after Israeli airstrikes in Gaza. Several others are injured. One of those strikes hit the Islamic University. Others hit Gaza City, Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balah. The Israeli military alleges it struck a militant in Deir al-Balah but did not immediately provide comment for other strikes.
