Pentagon officials have provided Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir with intelligence regarding the possibility of renewed full-scale conflict against Iran. High-ranking American military personnel informed Zamir this week that the White House and Pentagon have tasked them with preparing for a large-scale attack on Iran within the next three weeks, according to Israel's Channel 12.
Zamir reportedly warned his American counterparts that such an attack could lead to the postponement of Israel's elections, scheduled for October 27. The U.S. side anticipates that Iran would retaliate with a massive missile barrage against Israel in response to any strike.
However, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Washington is engaged in productive negotiations with Iran and has no intention of attacking the country before the November midterm congressional elections. Earlier reports indicated that Trump had considered striking Iran before the elections.
Meanwhile, a senior White House official stated that Iran was not discussed during a recent conversation between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with the leaders focusing instead on the third anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attack. The official suggested that the leaders focused on the third anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attack. However, it is considered unlikely that the issue of Iran was entirely omitted from their discussion.
It is possible that Trump's and his advisors' statements are intended to catch Tehran off guard in case the U.S. ultimately decides to launch an attack. Previously, the U.S. Central Command received instructions from the Pentagon to finalize plans for a potential large-scale conflict with Iran, with the military currently evaluating several courses of action for Trump's decision.
