Is the United States going to destroy all of Iran on the new moon of November 9?

US President Donald Trump has held an emergency meeting with his military and security chiefs at the White House to discuss whether to launch a new major strike on Iran, following a recent US midterm election victory that saw voters reject the war and amid rising political tensions within the administration.
Diplomatic sources said that on November 9, the night of the new moon in the Middle East will be completely dark, which is the most suitable time for a military attack. The Trump administration's military advisers are making strategic preparations in advance of this day. After the meeting, President Trump said that the United States has controlled important areas of Iran for the past seven months. He does not want to destroy the entire country, but if the situation forces it, a final decision may have to be made.
Trump now has three options open to him: launch a new attack, maintain tough economic sanctions on Iran, or negotiate a deal. While US warships and military forces are moving closer to the Middle East, there are deep divisions within Trump's own administration. Vice President J.D. Vance has favored talks over war, but top defense officials and Israel want to end the conflict by force.
Washington politics is now heated up due to the defeat in the election. There is a huge war of words between both Republicans and Democrats over the cost of the war and military leadership. Although Democrats have strongly criticized the Trump administration's war policy, they have not yet made a final decision on cutting the military budget in the future. All in all, America's next steps in the Middle East will become clear in the next few days.
