FACTS

The U.S. military is finishing preparations for a possible resumption of major combat operations in Iran, including sending more assets to the region, American officials told Axios' Barak Ravid on Wednesday.

At the same time, Qatari mediators are working to secure U.S. and Iranian support for a draft agreement to head off a return to battle and possibly resume direct talks in the coming days, regional sources told Axios.

Asked when the war will end, President Trump said: "It's got to be done right, because they can't have a nuclear weapon."

Diplomats and Trump advisers told Axios that Iran's gloating over the midterm results could make a return to strikes more likely.
