WASHINGTON, November 6. /TASS/. The United States is considering resuming the military operation against Iran on November 9, Fox News reported, citing sources.

According to the television channel, this idea was discussed at meetings at the White House on Wednesday and Thursday. The option of resuming the war on November 9 that marks a new moon in the Middle East - "a condition favorable for military operations" - is being considered, the sources said.

Also, US Central Command (CENTCOM) will soon finalize preparations for a potential resumption of military operations, even as no new directive from Washington has been received yet, Fox News added.

The United States and Israel launched a war against Iran on February 28. In June, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding calling for an immediate ceasefire on all fronts, including in Lebanon. However, the US resumed large-scale attacks on Iran overnight to July 8, having accused it of breaching the existing agreements concerning the Strait of Hormuz. Then Washington signaled an end to any large-scale use of force against Iran and a transition to economic pressure on the Islamic Republic through sanctions instead. At that, US President Donald Trump did not rule out resuming strikes on Iran following the midterm Congressional election.
