US President Donald Trump said he intends to strike one or two more targets in Iran, according to De Telegraaf. The Dutch newspaper reported his remark that the operation "can be done in 10 minutes," a claim it attributes to him.
The comments were carried by several Dutch outlets on Sunday, including de Volkskrant and Haarlems Dagblad, which reported the same statement about remaining targets in Iran.
Reporting around the remark points to wider military preparations. AD.nl described three aircraft carriers, bomber aircraft and Patriot systems as part of US readiness for a possible new wave of attacks against Iran. Business AM reported that the United States is preparing for a potential fresh military operation.
De Telegraaf published the remarks in a live blog on Sunday, 1 November 2026. The available reporting does not specify which targets Trump was referring to, what the timeline for any action would be, or whether an operation has been ordered. No further details on the scope or status of any strikes were included in the material reviewed.
The reports follow a period of heightened tension between Washington and Tehran, though the sources summarized here do not set out the sequence of events that preceded Trump's statement.
What to watch next: whether the US confirms any further military action against Iran, and how Tehran responds.
