The U.S. may launch a new operation against Iran on November 9; Iranian missiles to put Europe within range

The United States may launch a new phase of military operations against Iran on November 9, Fox News reported on November 6, citing a source.

According to the network, U.S. President Donald Trump held meetings on the matter with the National Security Council on Wednesday and Thursday, November 4 and 5.

 The source indicated that Washington is considering resuming combat operations on November 9, as that date coincides with a new moon. 

The near-total absence of moonlight is viewed as a "favorable condition" for carrying out the operation.

According to a source, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) is finalizing preparations for a potential resumption of operations in Iran, but has not yet received new directives from Washington.

Meanwhile, Iran's response to any attack by the US and Israel will bring Europe within range of its retaliatory missiles and drive oil prices above $150, said Hossein-Ali Haji Deligani, a member of the Majlis, Iran's unicameral parliament.

"In the event of any destructive action or the launch of an attack by the United States and the Zionist regime, Iran's response will be such that its retaliatory missiles will also have Europe within range, and this will push oil prices above $150," he told Iran's Tasnim news agency.
