Iranian officials said Sunday they possessed intelligence that the United States was preparing a renewed bombing campaign, warning retaliation against U.S. bases would proceed without limitations, as President Donald Trump publicly listed options including wiping Iran out, letting its economy rot, or striking a deal.

The Guardian reported Trump cut short a Camp David weekend as the State Department urged heightened vigilance for Americans in the Middle East. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said regional states seen as green-lighting U.S. attacks could be treated as parties to the conflict. The rhetoric followed Saturday’s Houthi strikes on Riyadh and Yanbu and roughly seven months of U.S.-Iran war after a June memorandum collapsed.

Trump also said Washington remains in contact with Houthis who pledged not to fight the United States—a claim that unsettled Saudi officials seeking stronger backing after Red Sea setbacks. UNGA week in New York will test whether maximalist talk coexists with mediated diplomacy involving Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian’s delegation.

NewsHabit’s Top Stories desk files this card for the 2026-09-20 America/New_York archive slate, grounded in dual-sourced reporting available that calendar day and without projecting later-week developments backward. Readers should treat rapidly moving war, market, and storm stories as snapshots: officials and independent outlets continue updating confirmed details. Agreement and conflict notes below summarize where major accounts align or diverge on emphasis, numbers, or motive claims.

On agreement: Guardian, AFP, and CNBC agree Iran alleged looming U.S. strikes and Trump voiced wipe-out/rot/deal options Sunday. On conflict: Governments dispute whether a new U.S. bombing wave is truly being prepared or whether Tehran is shaping UNGA leverage. As always, NewsHabit labels uncertainty rather than papering over it, and prefers primary agency, government, and on-the-record club sources when narratives split.
