Iran is reportedly undertaking extensive preparations for a potential resumption of hostilities with Israel and the United States. An Iranian source told Reuters that Tehran is preparing for possible strikes from the U.S. and Israel, rather than for a ceasefire. Senior officials suggest that Iran is deliberately prolonging negotiations to deny President Donald Trump a political victory before the U.S. midterm elections on November 3.

Separately, a conservative Iranian cleric, Tavakkol, threatened to use force against officials who make concessions to the U.S. during negotiations, deeming such actions a betrayal of national dignity. Tavakkol did not specify who the threats were directed at or what specific agreements with Washington he considered unacceptable. The authenticity and location of a video recording of his remarks, as well as its publication date, have not been independently confirmed.

Assessing the outcome of a 12-day confrontation with Israel, Tavakkol stated that Iran suffered losses from strikes but managed to emerge without compromising national dignity. He compared the conflict to a brief illness followed by recovery, asserting that the confrontation with Israel and the U.S. validates Tehran's political course.

Meanwhile, the U.S. is reportedly considering a three-day large-scale air campaign against Iran, potentially targeting nuclear facilities, missile systems, and military and energy infrastructure. Media reports indicate that preparations for this operation are complete, with its commencement dependent on political decisions in Washington. Drone aviation sites could also be targeted.
