President Donald Trump says the U.S. military is planning its "next conquest." He made the statement in a late-night social media post.
This comes as a major conflict continues in the Middle East. That war, involving Israel, began six weeks ago. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are allies in the conflict.
The President's brief message did not name the intended target. He posted it on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday night.
The announcement shifts focus as fighting persists across the Middle East. The region remains unstable from the ongoing war.
