The Israeli military had planned an attack on Iran approximately a week and a half ago, targeting civilian infrastructure such as power stations, nuclear facilities, and other objectives, according to a report by the Financial Times. The newspaper stated that U.S. President Donald Trump halted the offensive sought by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Financial Times attributed its information regarding Netanyahu's plan to three sources. These sources indicated the attack was scheduled for Saturday, October 10, 2026, and was intended to be more severe than a previous wartime strike. One source told the newspaper that the United States and Israel might resume hostilities against Iran in the coming weeks, stating, "Either there will be an agreement or an attack."
Another source informed the newspaper that Israel had established a new target bank, including previously un-targeted civilian sites. A third source suggested the Israeli plan aimed to pressure Iran within the context of ongoing, though currently inactive, negotiations. Anna Kelly, Deputy White House Spokesperson, told the Financial Times that Iran is in a "very bad situation, militarily and economically," and that the U.S. would not launch an attack on Iran before the midterm elections.
Despite this, the Israeli military remained on high alert for several weeks. On Monday, the military announced a leave ban for all its units, effective the following day, ahead of the upcoming Tuesday elections.
