NBC News reports that some of Donald Trump's advisers have told him he should decide within weeks whether to restart major combat operations in Iran. They want a decision before the new Democratic-controlled Congress takes office in January.
The broadcaster cites two US officials. According to NBC, administration and defence officials told Trump he should act within the next eight weeks, because the window for restarting major combat operations is closing.
This is a report based on unnamed sources. No decision to resume major combat has been announced, and the account has not been independently checked.
