Israel and the United States are reportedly preparing for significant military actions against Iran, aiming for maximum effectiveness. According to Iran International, any new operation is likely to be brief but large-scale and decisive. If the goal is to provoke regime change, strikes would target key infrastructure with the intent of causing irreversible damage. However, a prolonged nationwide power outage in Iran could create favorable conditions for such an operation. In this scenario, the strikes might be limited and short-term to allow Iran's state institutions to recover without major difficulty after a potential overthrow of the Islamic regime.

Washington has informed several Middle Eastern nations and regional partners about the possibility of resuming military action against Iran following the U.S. midterm elections on November 3. No final decision has been made, and White House and U.S. officials have declined to comment on the reports. Concurrently, the U.S. has intensified a large-scale airlift of military cargo to the Middle East, including Israel, in anticipation of a potential campaign. This air transport effort is comparable to preparations for Operation Lion's Roar. In the past 24 hours alone, at least ten U.S. Air Force transport planes landed at the Ovda and Nevatim airbases in southern Israel.
