Israel's military was preparing for several days of conflict with Iran in mid-October, with targets including civilian infrastructure like power plants, according to a report by the Financial Times on October 21. The plan, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly insisted on, was ultimately halted by Donald Trump. The Financial Times based its report on information from three sources described as "informed."

According to these sources, the airstrikes were scheduled to commence on Saturday, October 10, and were intended to be more significant than those conducted during Operation "Lion's Roar." One source indicated that the United States and Israel might resume hostilities against Iran in the coming weeks, stating, "There will either be a deal or an attack."
