Iran is preparing for potential escalation and hinting that its forces may conduct ground invasions into neighboring countries, according to sources familiar with the matter cited by The Wall Street Journal. This comes amid fears of a potential US attack on Iran following the November midterm elections, with Tehran reportedly seeking to deter President Donald Trump's administration. Trump stated that China and Russia are not significantly helping Iran. Mohsen Rezai, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, described Washington's response to Tehran's proposal as "unsatisfactory" and called for clarifications on outstanding issues.
Meanwhile, a senior Israeli security official indicated that Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have held urgent discussions on the matter in recent weeks. However, no decision has been made, and Netanyahu reportedly expressed no interest in action before the elections. The Israeli military (IDF) is preparing for three scenarios: an independent or joint operation with the US, and a response to fire from Iran. A senior officer noted ongoing coordination with the US, stating the IDF is on high alert for surprises or miscalculations from Iran, while emphasizing good and precise communication between the militaries.
This comes as reports suggest Iran has managed to rebuild its missile and drone facilities despite months of US and Israeli strikes, potentially replenishing its arsenal with ballistic and anti-ship missiles, with Russia reportedly supplying additional missiles. These assessments contradict Trump's claims that the strikes had crippled Iran's ability to threaten US bases and allies. Deputy White House spokesperson Anna Kelli responded by stating that President Trump had "completely destroyed" Iran's nuclear facilities and its conventional shield, including ballistic missiles and production sites, during operations "Midnight Hammer" and "Rage of the Prophet."
