U.S. and Israel Draw Up Plans for Renewed Strikes on Iran After Elections: NYT

Officials said the plans call for a short, intensive operation that could target nuclear and energy sites and missile and drone systems.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump stated the United States is no longer negotiating with Iran, suggesting a decisive development will occur "fairly soon," potentially after November 3 midterm elections.
  • Reports of American and Israeli military preparations, including exercises involving flights over Iraq, have intensified as U.S. troops withdraw from bases in Jordan, Qatar, and Kuwait in recent days.
  • Joint military exercises simulate potential strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, missile arsenals, and energy infrastructure, including the strategic islands of Kharg and Qeshm, according to reports.
  • Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week to discuss military options, while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned Tehran remains prepared for hostilities.
  • These developments follow nearly eight months of conflict, with the naval arm of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warning that maritime provocations near the Strait of Hormuz could trigger wider regional responses.
