Amid heightened tensions, Iran is bracing for potential further attacks, particularly following the upcoming U.S. midterm elections. Iranian assessments suggest that the period after elections in both Israel and the United States presents an "opportunity window" for a joint Israeli-American offensive. The perceived strategy would target infrastructure to accelerate economic paralysis, with the ultimate goal of destabilizing and potentially overthrowing the current regime. An online user described the atmosphere as "90 million people looking at the sky and waiting to see when a war will break out," reflecting a widespread sentiment that another attack is not a question of if, but when. This anxiety is compounded by recent reports of U.S. warnings to several Middle Eastern nations about an impending attack. Earlier reports also mentioned an incident in the Strait of Hormuz near Oman, where the circumstances of a fire on a vessel, the crew's condition, and the extent of damage remain unclear. Separately, Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of U.S. Central Command, briefed former President Trump on the ongoing maritime blockade and the war situation concerning Iran.
