US-Iran War enters its 9th month as President Donald Trump warns of a fresh strike as early as Sunday, October 25, while Iran vows to block all US warships from the Persian Gulf.
US President Donald Trump on Saturday, October 24, after casting his ballot in Florida midterm elections, said Washington is considering a new attack on Iran that could happen “maybe tomorrow”.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said: “Do you really think I’m going to tell you if I’m going to do it? There’s a possibility I will. There’s also a possibility we’ll have a nice, big, beautiful agreement. They want to make a deal, but the problem is, will they hold the deal?”

Trump praised US forces saying they have “knocked out every jet fighter of Iran. 259 ships are at the bottom of the sea”.
Iran’s Strong Response – Persian Gulf Ban
Iran’s Armed Forces Chief of Staff Maj Gen Ali Abdollahi on Saturday said Iran will never allow US military ships to enter the Persian Gulf “under any circumstances”
He added: “We will not allow US military ships in the Persian Gulf under any circumstances and at any time. The US president must dream of seeing the armed forces enter the Persian Gulf. He will take that dream to his grave”.
The IRGC Navy also claimed that two supertankers carrying more than 4.5 million barrels of crude oil were abandoned at sea after hitting mines near the Strait of Hormuz while trying to use an “illegal” southern route
Strait of Hormuz Standoff
The conflict began on February 28 when US and Israel launched strikes against Iran, disrupting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a major route for global oil and gas.
Iran has denied reports from a Saudi outlet that it offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for lifting the US naval blockade. IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency called those reports “a lie and fabrication”.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran’s earlier 7-day proposal to reopen Hormuz is still on the table.
War Preparation:-
Trump is preparing for escalation after the US midterm elections on Nov 3. He has already sent a third aircraft carrier strike group and 10,000 additional sailors and Marines toward the Persian Gulf.
The war has also widened – Houthis claimed attacks on Aden naval base and seven locations across Saudi Arabia, while missile debris fell on Mecca and Jeddah, prompting a US Level 3 travel advisory in Riyadh.
What Next?
Trump says preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon remains the central objective. He said US might have to “finish the job” if negotiations fail.
US Iran War Update Today has major impact on global oil prices. The Strait of Hormuz handles 20% of world oil supply. Iran’s move to ban US warships and hit tankers with mines has raised insurance costs for shipping companies.

Meanwhile, talks via Pakistan mediators continue. Iran says it wants full end to war, not interim deals. US sends third aircraft carrier to Gulf as preparation. Stay tuned for live updates.
