Israel and the United States have developed a comprehensive plan for a large-scale, though likely short-term, military operation against Iran. This operation could be initiated following the upcoming midterm elections in the U.S., according to a report by Israel Hayom. Concurrently, Arab sources indicate that Iran is preparing for a potential resumption of hostilities, having issued directives for a complete shutdown of internet access should a new armed conflict erupt. Israeli military leadership has reportedly advised the political echelon against rushing into a new operation. Recent weeks have seen the Israeli Air Force conduct intensive drills over Iraq, simulating actions in a potential conflict scenario, as reported by foreign media. Despite the readiness timelines, sources suggest a real military campaign remains some distance away. Previously, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had tasked the IDF, Mossad, and other security agencies with the objective of toppling the Iranian regime. However, military and intelligence officials highlight the limitations of such an operation and suggest the heightened tensions might serve the political leadership's interests ahead of elections. The Prime Minister assesses that the Iranian authorities are currently facing their most severe crisis in the regime's history. A senior Iranian security official has also stated that Tehran is preparing for a significant, multi-level military confrontation amid escalating tensions.
