The U.S. Central Command is finalizing preparations for a potential military operation against Iran, which could commence as early as next week, possibly on November 9. Officials cited the upcoming new moon on that date in the Middle East as a favorable condition for military actions due to the lack of moonlight. While preparations are nearly complete, a final order has not yet been issued, and the U.S. administration is still evaluating its next steps without a definitive decision on the timing of a strike. This discussion follows statements from Donald Trump indicating readiness to resume military action against Tehran, though internal consensus on the timing remains unclear. Israel also maintains readiness for a potential operation against Iran, though specific timelines and objectives are undefined. Despite the conclusion of elections in both Israel and the U.S., the likelihood of a strike remains uncertain. There has been no significant increase in U.S. military presence in the region, apart from a buildup in southern Israel and some troop movements in the Arabian Sea, which are considered routine. The defense establishment notes that the situation is fluid and could change based on Washington's decisions and the campaign's objectives.
