The US is sending the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt and over 2,000 Marines to the Middle East, with three carriers expected around Iran by late November. President Trump told TIME that renewed large-scale bombing of Iran after the midterms is "possible," saying he rejected Iran's latest ceasefire offer and warning "you blow 'em up" when asked how to negotiate with Tehran. Iran, meanwhile, claims to have successfully tested a long-range ballistic missile against a moving target and is reportedly preparing a broader response—potentially targeting US allies and interests beyond the Middle East—if Washington resumes strikes, according to senior Iranian officials.
