- The Financial Times reported Israel planned strikes on nuclear and civilian sites in Iran.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refuted a report claiming that U.S. President Donald Trump prevented an Israeli plan to strike Iran. Speaking to Channel 7, Netanyahu addressed a Financial Times report, stating, "This report is not true. I will not go into correcting this biased report." The British newspaper had reported that Israel was preparing for further action against Iran, allegedly planned for the weekend of October 10. Targets mentioned in the publication included nuclear facilities, power stations, and civilian infrastructure.
The report attributed a desire to advance the strike to Netanyahu, while Trump reportedly preferred to avoid military confrontation before the U.S. midterm elections on November 3. Against this backdrop, Trump had previously clarified that the United States would not attack Iran before the elections and indicated that talks with Tehran were ongoing. He also issued a stern message regarding Iran's nuclear program, stating, "Iran will not have a nuclear weapon!".
The Financial Times cited three sources familiar with the matter. One source estimated that further military confrontation between Israel and Iran, with or without U.S. involvement, could occur in the coming weeks. Another source summarized the remaining options as, "There will be a deal or an attack."
