Trump opposed Netanyahu's plans for renewed strikes on Iran ahead of US midterms
The shelved plan would have hit nuclear sites, power plants and other infrastructure, with officials saying renewed strikes remain possible.
- 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.
