US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said President Donald Trump would prefer to end the conflict with Iran through diplomacy, although Washington retains the capacity for further military action.
Speaking to reporters, Rubio said Trump had not made a decision on renewed strikes. His comments come amid reports by The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times that the US is preparing for possible military operations after the November 3 midterm elections.
Separately, Tehran designated Britain's Military Intelligence Services a hostile group, accusing London of supporting US operations. The move followed Britain's designation of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation.
