Trump says US has 'two very different' intelligence reports on Iran amid fresh war fears

US President Donald Trump said Washington has received "two very different sets" of intelligence assessments on Iran, declining to elaborate on one of them amid concerns over potential Iranian attacks on American personnel and speculation about a possible resumption of hostilities. Speaking to reporters before boarding Air Force One on Sunday, Trump said the US had advanced intelligence on Iran, adding that some information had been declassified while other details remained classified. "I have two very different sets," Trump said when asked about reports warning that Iran had intensified efforts to target US personnel. "We have very advanced sets of intelligence on Iran. Some has been declassified and some hasn't," he added, asserting that the United States was "doing very well" with Iran. The remarks followed a warning from Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, who said Tehran had substantially increased its efforts to target American personnel. In a memo dated October 23 and sent to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Clayton said plots against American citizens had reached "advanced stages" in West Asia and other countries. The memo was also copied to CIA Director John Ratcliffe, according to Reuters. Is the US preparing for fresh strikes on Iran? Trump's comments come amid concerns that the conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran could resume after a pause in hostilities. The US president has suggested that American forces could launch further strikes after the November 3 midterm elections. Washington has reportedly deployed a third aircraft carrier strike group and around 10,000 additional sailors and Marines towards the Persian Gulf, expanding the options available to military commanders if Trump decides to restart operations. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth also made an unannounced visit to Israel last week, where he met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of a crucial re-election contest. Meanwhile, Iranian counterstrikes have targeted US military installations in the region, prompting reported reductions in staffing at some bases. The US State Department has also ordered some diplomats and their families to leave Saudi Arabia amid heightened security concerns. Iran says renewed war will not change its policies Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said renewed fighting with the United States and Israel would not change Tehran's policies, adding that the country was already looking beyond the current conflict. "Recently, there has been talk of a new war, but I am already thinking about the post-war period. Whether there is war or not, our policies remain the same," Araghchi said at a televised event in Tehran. He argued that previous military campaigns had failed to change Iran's position and warned that another round of fighting would produce no different result. "If they want to try again, they know they will achieve no different outcome from those of the past," he added.
