Israel is reportedly pressuring the U.S. administration to prepare for military action against Iran. U.S. President Donald Trump has indicated a potential resumption of strikes on Iran following the midterm elections. Israel fears Iran's continued military buildup and potential return to active nuclear program development, according to CNN sources. The U.S. is considering a brief but potent military operation targeting Iran's nuclear and energy facilities, missile systems, and drone infrastructure. Such an operation, potentially lasting three days, could inflict significant economic damage and compel Iran back to negotiations, though a final decision has not been made. U.S. Permanent Representative to the UN Mike Waltz stated that Washington is preparing for a protracted conflict with Iran, aiming to achieve an agreement through a combination of military and economic pressure. Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department is altering personnel at several Middle East diplomatic missions, including the embassy in Beirut, and some diplomats and their families are leaving the region. These heightened security measures stem from concerns that the Middle East conflict could escalate into a larger confrontation. U.S. President's Special Representative Tom Barrack has not ruled out renewed strikes on Iran as early as October 24-25, amid reports of U.S. military preparations.
