Trump Considers Attacking Iran: ‘Perhaps Tomorrow’

US President Donald Trump said he was seriously considering plans to launch another strike against Iran. He suggested military action could come sooner than expected.

“We’re thinking about doing it, perhaps tomorrow,” Trump said when asked how seriously he was considering a possible attack, according to Anadolu Agency and Al Jazeera, cited on Sunday (25 October 2026).

Trump made the remarks on Saturday (24 October) US time. He said nobody would know if the US were to strike Iran again.

“Do you really think I would tell you if I were going to do it?” he added.

Trump said Iran could still avoid further military action by reaching an agreement with the US. “They want to make a deal, but the question is, will they abide by the deal?” he said.

Trump said his aim was to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons in the future. He said the previous US operation, which involved B-2 bombers, would not be enough to guarantee a lasting outcome.

“I have to make it permanent,” he said. “That’s the only reason I’m doing this.”

Trump also claimed that oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz had increased compared with levels before the war began, although he did not provide specific figures.

While he did not make a firm decision about the next step, Trump said the possible outcomes were military action or negotiations.

“Maybe I have to finish it, or maybe they’ll agree to a deal,” he said. “But I’m not sure. Whatever happens, we win.”
