On November 6 local time, according to NBC News, two U.S. officials revealed that some advisers to the Trump administration have told Trump that the "window of time is narrowing" for relaunching large-scale military operations against Iran, and recommended that he take action before the new Congress controlled by Democrats is sworn in in January next year. This means Trump needs to make a decision within the coming weeks. The report said that the United States currently has more than 50,000 troops, more than 20 ships, and more than 200 aircraft deployed in the Middle Eastmaintaining such a large-scale military deployment over the long term is affecting the U.S. military's readiness, and is also one of the reasons why the time window for military action is limited. On November 5 local time, Trump's national security team reported to him options for resuming large-scale military operations. It is said that Trump has not yet decided whether to restart strike operations. A White House official said that Trump "can take any option at any time," and "only he himself knows when and what decision he will make."
