U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran began on Feb. 28, and the war has continued amid Iran’s restrictions on Strait of Hormuz traffic and a U.S. blockade of Iranian ports. A June Iran-U.S. memorandum aimed at ending hostilities and restoring shipping collapsed within weeks; the parties still dispute responsibility, control of the Strait and the terms and sequence of negotiations. In late October, reports described U.S. strike options alongside Qatar-led mediation, while Trump predicted the war could end soon and left renewed action open.

The Defense Department said preparing military options is its mission and declined to speculate; two diplomats said Trump had not made a final decision. Suzanne Maloney expected strikes after the midterms but said escalation could not end the war; Jason Campbell said timing was impossible to predict and doubted similar strikes would change Iran’s strategic position.

Trump has alternated between setting a pre-election limit on attacks and warning that another operation was possible. He said the war could end in a couple of weeks or whenever he decided, and framed the choice as a deal or “finishing it off.” Obama called starting the war unnecessary and said Iran had effectively gained a veto over Hormuz shipping; Hillary Clinton blamed higher fuel prices mainly on what she called Trump’s reckless war. Trump called the fuel-price increase a small price to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and said he had no regrets.

Congressional officials said the estimate was incomplete and excluded fuel, other expenses and base repairs. G7 leaders agreed to a coordinated reserve release, followed by a release plan from 12 European countries; Michael Kellner called the G7 move a political folly, while Trump said the United States had never planned a diesel export ban.
