The United States has warned several Persian Gulf Arab states about the potential resumption of large-scale military operations against Iran shortly after the upcoming U.S. elections, according to The Wall Street Journal. The Trump administration is exploring options for a new series of strikes, though a final decision has not yet been made by the President, and diplomatic channels with Tehran remain open. Official diplomatic and military documents indicate active joint preparations by the U.S. and Israel for a new phase of confrontation with Iran, aiming to significantly weaken Tehran's defense capabilities and compel concessions through negotiations, despite the high risks of regional escalation.
Israel is directly involved in the strategic planning for the potential campaign. U.S. and Israeli military specialists have identified priority targets, including Iran's nuclear infrastructure, defense facilities, missile and drone storage sites, and key petrochemical complexes. The anticipated high-intensity strikes are intended to inflict substantial damage on Iran's economy and alter its negotiating position.
In preparation for a visit, Pentagon head Pete Hegseth met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to ABC News, they exchanged intelligence, discussed operational timelines, and coordinated joint air maneuvers over Iraq. The Israeli Prime Minister is reportedly pushing for an expedited operation, viewing a change in Iran's political regime as a strategic objective, but the ultimate decision rests with the White House.
The delay in launching operations is attributed to the upcoming U.S. midterm elections on November 3. The U.S. administration seeks to avoid escalation before the vote due to concerns about a surge in global oil prices and increased economic risks. Concurrently, Washington is reinforcing its military presence in the Middle East, bolstering arsenals and security, while Gulf states are preparing for potential Iranian retaliatory strikes on regional energy infrastructure.
