Trump and Iran trade threats as war fears grow

In October 2026, US President Donald Trump and Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi exchanged threats, with Trump vowing to "finish the job." Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran as fears of renewed war grew. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed Tehran is now exporting no oil through the Strait of Hormuz. An IRGC spokesman said the US is not in a position to launch a new conflict against Iran, and a military official said Iran is counting the moments for the next "US-Israel foolish acts."
