US President Donald Trump threatened on November 1 at an Iowa campaign rally to strike Iran with a "heavy blow" at "some point," saying the only reason he had not finished off Iran was that he "wanted to be nice," with US midterm elections scheduled for November 3. Trump said on October 31 that the US had destroyed most of Iran's military capabilities but still needed to "deal with" one or two targets, including the Pickaxe Mountain underground nuclear facility. Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed on November 1 that under pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the US could strike Pickaxe Mountain in central Iran within days, where Israeli intelligence alleges uranium enrichment has resumed—claims not independently verified. Iran warned that renewed strikes would trigger a longer war. The escalation risk around Iran's nuclear program and the midterm election timeline are key factors to watch.
