[Trump Claims US Conducted "Small Strike" Against Iran] BlockBeats reports that on November 7th, US President Trump told the media on the 6th that the US conducted a "small strike" against Iran, destroying "a small air defense device" manufactured by Iran. According to an earlier report by Iran's Tasnim News Agency, preliminary reports indicated that two missiles struck Iran's Qeshm Island. Meanwhile, two US officials revealed that some advisors to the Trump administration have informed Trump that the "window of opportunity" for resuming large-scale military action against Iran is narrowing, recommending that he take action before the new Democratic-controlled Congress takes office in January. This means Trump needs to make a decision in the coming weeks. The report states that the US currently has over 50,000 troops, more than 20 ships, and over 200 aircraft deployed in the Middle East—maintaining such a large-scale military deployment for an extended period is impacting US military readiness and is one reason for the limited window of opportunity for military action. On November 5th local time, Trump's national security team briefed him on plans to resume large-scale military action. Trump has reportedly not yet decided whether to resume strikes. A White House official said Trump is "at any time to take any option," and "only he knows when and what decision he will make."
