The White House stated that Donald Trump "holds all the cards" on Iran and insisted that unless Iran changes its ways, the United States will "finish the work started by Operation Epic Fury." U.S. officials claim that tens of millions of barrels of oil still pass through the Strait of Hormuz daily, and that "Operation Epic Fury" has destroyed the Iranian military, sunk its ships, and ensured it has no air force or air defense capabilities. Donald Trump had previously ruled out an attack on Iran before the midterm elections but has been presented with various military options, including continuing operations or using large explosive devices such as the "Mother of All Bombs."
