DEVELOPING: Trump weighs renewed STRIKES on Iran ahead of midterms

Want to get overseas right now, back to the war with Iran. President Trump said to be weighing a combat, a return rather to all-out combat. This is shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, falls to its lowest level in more than two months. Trey Ying's following all of this. Want to check in now in Tel Aviv. Trey, what do you have? Yeah, hey Bill, good morning. Reports indicate CENTCOM has been ordered by the Pentagon to finalize preparations for major combat operations against Iran. Now Axios reports that the President Trump hasn't made any final decisions, but the move is an indication that strikes against Iran could resume even before the midterm elections. General Jack Keane described the current battlefield assessment on Fox and Friends. Look at the diplomatic effort. It didn't work. You know, they were trying to seduce us to do what? Stop the war, delay the inevitable. Hasn't worked. Now we're on an economic path to try to set the conditions for the regime to collapse. I don't believe that by itself will do that. The only thing this regime wants to do is survive. We know the United States continues to enforce the naval blockade of Iranian ports and is still escorting vessels through the Strait of Hormuz with millions of barrels of crude oil on board. But the IRGC keeps attacking with another tanker struck off the coast of Qatar overnight. Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Argachi, spoke to state media today, indicating that Iran is still reviewing the U.S. response to a proposed seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Now, U.S. officials have said this is just an attempt for Iran to buy time amid dire economic conditions for the country. Meanwhile, fighting continues to escalate between the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen and pro-government forces backed by Saudi Arabia. Three people were killed in Saudi Arabia amid new Houthi missile attacks that targeted airports in the country. There are clearly multiple fronts that do remain active, and there are more than 50,000 U.S. forces deployed across the region to give President Trump a variety of options moving forward. Bill? Thank you, Trey. Trey Yingst in Tel Aviv.
