> The US military is examining the possibility of restarting a full-scale operation against Iran, The New York Times reported, citing unnamed US officials. The Pentagon is also drawing up plans to strike Iranian missile and drone storage sites and other military and energy targets. The report says Trump had rejected earlier proposals for large-scale action against Iran or Yemen’s Houthi movement; on Thursday, he said the US would not strike Iran before the congressional midterm elections.
