A hypothetical Iranian missile attack targeting the United States on the eve of the midterm elections, which would have devastated American soldiers and civilians in the Persian Gulf, Europe, and Israel, is presented as a scenario that was averted. The article posits that Iran, under its clerical regime, intended to launch a massive missile strike from sites in the Zagros Mountains, Tabriz, and Tehran, aiming to disrupt the elections and cripple President Donald Trump's administration. This attack, described as the deadliest in history, was allegedly timed to coincide with the US elections to ensure Trump's defeat, thereby neutralizing the "Great Satan" and its ally, the "Little Satan" (Israel).

The author suggests that such an attack would have caused widespread chaos, a surge in oil prices, and international demands for Trump to cease hostilities. It would have also led to warnings for US citizens to avoid public gatherings due to Iranian death squads operating within the country. The predicted outcome included Democratic control of Congress and the Senate, leaving Trump a "lame duck." Following this, Iran would have closed the Strait of Hormuz and dictated terms for negotiations.

However, the article argues that this scenario was likely prevented because both the US and Israel were aware of Iran's intentions. The author analyzes the situation through game theory, suggesting that Iran's only opportune moment to strike would be before the US elections, as any other timing would result in its destruction without significant damage to Trump. Conversely, the US and Israel, knowing an attack was imminent, now possess multiple opportunities to act.

The piece contrasts the Iranian regime with Joseph Stalin, highlighting their ruthlessness and disregard for their own citizens' lives in pursuit of a nuclear bomb. It asserts that President Trump, unlike Roosevelt and Churchill in their dealings with Stalin, will not repeat past mistakes. The article concludes by stating that recent months have seen extensive, covert preparations and perfect coordination between the US and Israel, implying that the Iranian regime's "religious cannibalism" and aspirations will be met by a preemptive strike from the US and Israel before the midterm elections.
