Trump threatens to launch military action against Iran again, Iran plans to expand countermeasures to submarine cables BlockBeats News: On October 24th, US President Trump stated that the US may launch another small-scale "epic fury" operation against Iran, but also said that the US can quickly end the war, and the key is to choose between completely ending the conflict or letting the war gradually subside. Previously, The New York Times reported that the US and Israeli military have formulated plans to strike Iran again after the US midterm elections, but it is still uncertain whether Trump will approve them. At the same time, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy reported that two super tankers attempting to cross the southern Strait of Hormuz hit a mine on Friday, carrying over 4.5 million barrels of crude oil. The crew abandoned the ship and fled, but the relevant statement remains to be independently verified. According to Reuters, two senior Iranian security officials have revealed that if the United States and Israel attack Iran again, Iran has developed plans to strike submarine communication cables in the Gulf region and may expand countermeasures to concealed military bases. There is currently no news that the relevant crackdown has been implemented. The military standoff between the United States and Iran continues to intensify, posing further risks to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and energy and communication infrastructure in the Gulf region.
