A senior U.S. official has indicated that new airstrikes against Iran-backed militias in Iraq and Syria are expected to resume following the midterm elections, rejecting Iran’s recent call for a seven-day cease-fire. The official suggested that the timing of any potential strikes would be influenced by the political landscape in the U.S. rather than the proposed truce. Tensions remain high as the U.S. continues to target groups linked to Iran, despite diplomatic efforts to de-escalate violence in the region. The report highlights the delicate balance between military action and political considerations in shaping Washington’s response.
