Trump opposed Netanyahu's plans for renewed strikes on Iran ahead of US midterms
The plans would have targeted nuclear and energy sites in a three-day campaign, according to officials familiar with the discussions.
- On Wednesday, the Financial Times reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu planned a major military offensive against Iran earlier this month, but President Donald Trump blocked the operation over concerns about the November 3 U.S. midterm elections.
- Netanyahu instructed the Israel Defense Forces to prepare a multi-day bombing campaign for the weekend of October 10, targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, power plants, and civilian infrastructure associated with the regime.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited Israel on Monday for unannounced talks with Netanyahu regarding regional threats, occurring eight days before Israel's upcoming parliamentary election.
- Vice President JD Vance demanded a "meaningful" reduction in uranium enrichment capacity, though Iranian officials rebuffed these terms until the U.S. lifts sanctions and ends regional hostilities.
- Though the October 10 offensive was shelved, sources suggest another round of joint U.S.-Israeli strikes remains a realistic possibility in the coming weeks, as Trump continues to threaten further military action unless Tehran changes course.
