Introduction \u2013 Nov 5, 2026<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, says he fears that Trump will continue his war with Iran and may even escalate it.<\/p>\n

“That worries me because that would have even more serious implications for the price of oil, for inflation, for the whole western world”, he told the BBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although Farage acknowledged that he had initially supported the war, he stressed that he “never supported endless war”.<\/p>\n

The US president had “always kept his promises,” said Farage, but “in this case, he said no more foreign wars and here we are in month eight of a war with no sign of ending.”<\/p>\n

Indeed this website believes that the war with Iran may only be beginning.<\/p>\n

We strongly suspect that, backed by Russia and China, Iran is preparing for a much wider, longer war. If that does indeed transpire it will be in response to President Trump, who pressured by Israel, possibly with blackmail through his ties with Epstein, is preparing for more extensive strikes on Iran.<\/p>\n

If that happens we will enter a whole new phase in the U.S. war with Iran, which could ultimately result in the use of nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

Of course, we are not at that stage yet, but we could be at the opening phase of a much wider war.<\/p>\n

With Trump acting in the manner of an antichrist, backed and financed by the descendents of the very people who were instrumental in the crucifixion of Christ.<\/p>\n

Whatever happens, we wouldn’t be surprised if the Trump presidency takes on a much more authoritarian, dictatorial demeanour, in the months ahead.<\/p>\n

If that happens then we could see the emergence of plans for a massive depopulation program, through wars and famine. Note, that I don\u2019t say that those plans will be implemented but we could see the outline of those plans in the works.<\/p>\n

I realise that this may sound alarmist but after the US midterms power is now slipping from the grasp of the Zionists and their Masonic allies.<\/p>\n

Trump’s second term was meant to cement their control and mark a new era with the emergence of a Greater Israel. Instead, their power is waning and as it does so they could become increasingly desperate and dictatorial. Ed.<\/p>\n

Will Trump launch fresh strikes on Iran after US poll defeat?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Gulf News \u2013 Nov 5, 2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Washington: As he takes stock of his Republican Party’s midterm drubbing, President Donald Trump now faces the difficult question of what to do about his unpopular 8-month-old war against Iran.<\/p>\n

For weeks, Trump has threatened to return to a full-scale bombardment of Iran once the US elections were in the rearview mirror if Tehran did not come to a settlement under terms acceptable to him<\/p>\n

In his first comments on Wednesday after Democrats’ resounding election victory \u2014 a wave powered in part by the American electorate’s dissatisfaction with the war \u2014 Trump largely agreed with Vice President JD Vance, who publicly ruminated on the war being a catastrophe for Republicans.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s largely true because it drove gasoline up a little bit,\u201d Trump said. Still, he doubled down on his decision to launch the conflict despite its big political cost. \u201cAt the same time, if I had to do it again, I’d do it again,” he said.<\/p>\n

The strikes, and counterstrikes, have caused tens of billions of dollars of damage in the region. And the conflict has reached into the pocketbook of families around the globe with elevated gas prices and rising costs in just about every sector.<\/p>\n

Now, as Trump ponders his next move, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Iran, the Middle East and the global economy writ large.<\/p>\n

Trump may be less restrained, but the conflict is now more complicated<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While oil is flowing again from the Strait of Hormuz with the help of US Navy escorts for international tankers, the conflict has spread to the Red Sea with Iran-backed Houthi rebels and a Saudi Arabia -led coalition fighting it out.<\/p>\n

The situation in the Red Sea remains particularly volatile. The Houthis are attacking Yemeni civilians and Saudi infrastructure, and are looking to bolster ties with militant groups across the Horn of Africa.<\/p>\n

The attacks by the Yemen-based Houthis on areas controlled by the internationally recognized Yemeni government have also worsened a growing humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n

The threat that the region faces from Iran and its proxy groups, noted a senior Yemeni government official, \u201cdid not change overnight\u201d with the US elections, urging Washington to avoid hasty decisions. The official was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the basis of anonymity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s reason to suspect that Trump may feel less restrained given that the political damage is done,\u201d said Brian Haggerty, a former senior analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency who focused on Middle East security issues. \u201cAt the same time, the strategic calculus or the strategic logic of what you hope to achieve through an escalation of strikes against Iran is no different today than it was a week ago or a month ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump has at least a few options, analysts say<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Haggerty, who now works with Defense Priorities, a Washington think tank, said Trump could choose to maintain something close to the current posture, with the US military carrying out what it calls \u201cdefensive strikes\u201d while continuing its naval blockade to restrict the flow of Iranian oil to the global market.<\/p>\n

Another option is striking Iran\u2019s Pickaxe Mountain, a facility linked to its nuclear program that is buried deep underground in central Iran, said David Schenker, who served as assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs in Trump\u2019s first term. Trump has repeatedly suggested he was considering targeting the site.<\/p>\n

Schenker said Trump could then walk away and contend he had done sufficient damage to Iran’s nuclear program \u2014 and perhaps try to pursue a \u201cfig leaf agreement\u201d that restores freedom of navigation to the Strait of Hormuz, offers Iran some degree of sanctions relief, and punts additional nuclear talks to the future.<\/p>\n

Despite the pummelling he received in the midterms, which was largely due to his war with Iran, Trump is still reportedly weighing up further strikes on Iran.
