The U.S. military and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have developed plans to resume attacks on Iran following the upcoming midterm elections, according to a report in The New York Times. Potential targets are expected to include energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and missile and drone depots. Some officials believe a new round of extensive strikes could push Iran's economy to the brink of collapse, compelling the country to agree to diplomatic concessions.

Iranian officials have stated that this time they would retaliate by targeting data centers and undersea cables, rather than limiting their response to ships and energy infrastructure in the region. The U.S. military will finalize its assessments in the region by early November, deploying three aircraft carriers, thousands of Marines, fighter jets, and special forces. Another factor influencing the timing of potential strikes is Iran's transition to winter time next month, which will extend the hours of darkness and provide a larger window for operations.
