[Trump Threatens to "Smash the Hammer" on Iran at "Sometime"] US President Donald Trump threatened at a campaign rally in Iowa on November 1 that he would have to "smash the hammer" on Iran at "sometime," stating that the only reason he hadn't taken military action against Iran was to "be a good guy." The US midterm elections will be held on November 3. Trump claimed 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 Gorshka underground nuclear facility. According to a post by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson on the evening of November 1, under pressure from Netanyahu, the Trump administration might strike Gorshka in central Iran within days, where Israeli intelligence claims Iran has restarted its uranium enrichment program. An Iranian military spokesman warned on the same day that if the US resumes hostile actions, it could trigger a "longer war than the last one." (Xinhua)
