The United States and Israel have prepared a detailed plan for a potential strike against Iran, to be executed after the upcoming US midterm elections, according to a report in The New York Times. The American midterm elections are scheduled for November 3.

Sources familiar with the matter in the US indicated that Defense Secretary met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week to discuss the attack plan. There is a belief among these sources that a concentrated three-day offensive could inflict sufficient economic damage to alter Iran's negotiating stance.

Former President Donald Trump commented on the issue, stating, "I think this is one of the greatest things we have done, we prevented Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. This is one of the best things we have done. It took a lot of courage, because no other president was willing to do it, and if we hadn't done it, Iran would already be using powerful nuclear weapons now."
