- U.S. and Israeli militaries have drafted plans for potential strikes on Iran after U.S. midterm elections.
- The potential operation would target Iran's energy, nuclear, missile, and drone infrastructure.
- Israeli security officials have reservations about the timing, citing potential political interference.
- Prime Minister Netanyahu has warned of Iranian attacks and interference in Israeli elections.
- Netanyahu has instructed security agencies to work towards overthrowing the Iranian regime.
The United States and Israeli militaries have prepared plans for new attacks on Iran, to be potentially launched after the U.S. midterm elections next month, according to The New York Times. The operation, which could last three days, would target Iran's energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and missile and drone programs.
However, elements within the Israeli security establishment have expressed significant reservations about attacking Iran at this time. These sources, cited by Kan news, warned that launching an offensive before Israeli elections could be perceived as political interference. These concerns arise even as the security establishment has recently increased its readiness for a potential operation against Iran, including military drills. While the military may be setting readiness dates, actual execution remains distant.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, has repeatedly warned of the possibility of an Iranian attack on Israel before the elections. He stated that Iran is attempting to develop nuclear weapons again and has instructed security agencies to work towards overthrowing the Tehran regime. Netanyahu also told The Jerusalem Post that Iran and its allies are preparing to influence the Israeli elections, vowing a strong and severe response to any such attempt.
