Western officials have identified "extreme" military activities within Iran, prompting urgent discussions between Israel and the United States. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Sunday regarding the escalating situation. Israeli security officials believe that any potential strike against Iran must target its infrastructure, energy, missile, and nuclear facilities.
Israeli assessments suggest that Iran's current pressures may lead it to undertake further extreme actions. Security sources warned that "the master of the house in Iran is going crazy and there isn't much time," indicating a belief that military action is a "very realistic scenario" if Iran does not change course.
These developments occur against a sensitive political backdrop: Israel faces elections in 12 days, and the U.S. has midterm elections in 19 days. This timing is seen as potentially influencing decision-making regarding any military response.
Meanwhile, U.S. military sources revealed to CNN that new attack plans have been developed, potentially including the use of the "mother of all bombs" (MOAB) against Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear sites. These plans are reportedly prepared for President Donald Trump's consideration, whether before or after the U.S. midterm elections, signaling a potential significant escalation in the conflict.
