The US military has carried out "limited strikes" on Qeshm Island in Iran - hours before the midterms are due to take place.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets tie the story to Trump and Netanyahu and to the question of what comes next in Iran, but they frame it differently. Axios centers a reported Saturday call and says, in its extract, that sources described discussion of U.S. negotiations with Iran and how quickly to return to combat. National Review is more argumentative, saying only that Trump and Netanyahu need to choose victory and that any resumed offensive must have a clear goal.
