The upcoming US midterm elections are poised to be a pivotal moment in the military confrontation with Iran, according to Mark Zell, head of the Israeli Republican Party. Zell stated that following the elections, both US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have approximately two months to implement strategic plans targeting Iran. This window will allow the leaders to focus on countering Iran and weakening its capabilities. Zell noted that Trump is currently focused on bolstering Republican positions in Congress and campaigning across the US, highlighting the president's significant influence on both domestic and foreign policy, as well as the Middle East situation.
Zell suggested that after the midterms, Washington and Jerusalem will have a limited timeframe to address critical issues concerning Iran. He speculated that a primary objective for Washington could be the overthrow of the clerical regime in Iran. Regarding potential US interference in Israeli coalition formation, Zell dismissed claims of strong pressure from the Trump administration, asserting that the decision on government composition rests solely with Israel. However, he did not rule out the possibility of unofficial US assistance in facilitating agreements between Israeli political forces on key regional agenda items.
Earlier reports indicated that the Trump administration had warned several Persian Gulf states to prepare for a potential large-scale, though brief, military campaign against Iran after the US midterm elections, scheduled for November 3.
