U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly considering a significant military strike against Iran shortly after the November 3 midterm elections, according to a report in The Atlantic. While Trump has primarily focused on economic sanctions against Tehran in recent months, he is now open to advice from several counselors regarding an intensive, short-duration military operation.
Potential targets for such an offensive are believed to include Iran's nuclear facilities, Revolutionary Guard missile and drone depots, and strategic energy infrastructure like power plants and oil reserves. Sources close to the President suggest that a combination of military action and existing economic pressure could lead to regime change in Iran.
The timing of the potential operation, immediately following the midterm elections, aligns with recent reports indicating Trump's reluctance to engage in war just before voters head to the polls. This political consideration is compounded by economic concerns, as oil prices saw a sharp rise yesterday, and a large-scale military campaign could further inflate them.
Meanwhile, the Financial Times reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had attempted to persuade Trump to approve an attack on Iran on October 10, before elections in both Israel and the U.S. However, the report claims Trump opted to block the Israeli initiative at that time.
