WSJ: Trump expects to resume bombing Iran in November

President Trump has told aides he expects to resume bombing Iran in November, the Wall Street Journal reports, as the Pentagon assembles the largest carrier buildup of the war. The Roosevelt strike group and the Makin Island amphibious ready group departed San Diego, and all three carriers — Bush, Washington, Roosevelt — plus up to 10,000 more troops are expected in theater by November. The Treasury sanctioned Iran's auto and rail sectors on Thursday.

The war, which the US has fought since late February, has already drawn in British bases — the B-1 bombers pulled from RAF Fairford on Sunday had been striking Iran from England. A November resumption would mark a major escalation after months of stalled Qatari-mediated talks.
