Trump Warns Another 'Epic Fury' Strike Against Iran Over Diplomacy
· World · Times of India, India Today, NDTV
US President Donald Trump warned on Friday that another military strike, dubbed "another little Epic Fury," could follow if Iran fails to reach a diplomatic agreement, referencing the initial US operation that began the US-Iran war. Trump stated US warships returning from the Middle East could pass near Cuba before deploying Secretary of State Marco Rubio for diplomatic objectives. A new US intelligence memo cited by Axios found Iran had "substantially increased" efforts to target American diplomats and officials in the Middle East, with plots reaching "advanced stages." The US State Department announced reduced staffing at embassies in Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar, and the UAE linked to threats from Iran and Yemen's Houthi rebels. Iran has warned it may target undersea communication infrastructure if the US or Israel resume strikes. All four embassies will remain open but under restricted operations status.
Why it matters
The escalation raises the risk of renewed military confrontation in the Middle East, directly affecting US diplomatic presence and regional stability, with potential ripple effects on global oil markets and India's strategic interests.
