As of 1 November 2026, the US is reportedly weighing renewed strikes on Iran; Trump says there is no hurry to decide and reportedly prefers more time for diplomacy, while Netanyahu is reportedly pressing for strikes after the 3 November midterms (single-source, via Axios as relayed by Telegram). Qatar-mediated indirect US-Iran talks reportedly entered a third day in Doha over an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran saying it could reopen sooner if conditions are met. A Nakilat-owned LNG carrier was reportedly hit by unidentified objects in the Gulf, with no crew injuries reported; a UKMTO hijacking report in Hormuz remains unverified.
