According to a report by Israel’s Channel 12, Israeli Chief of General Staff Eyal Zamir warned during meetings with US officials that a possible strike on Iran could lead to the postponement of elections in Israel. US officials said the military is preparing to resume strikes on Iran within three weeks. Zamir said Iran would respond to Israel with missiles. The Israeli military declined to comment.
The report stated that the Pentagon has instructed CENTCOM to complete preparations, that Trump is considering the strike before the elections, but that a decision could be made within 7-10 days. It was claimed that the strike would be carried out in coordination with Israel and would cover energy, infrastructure, and nuclear targets. Trump had previously announced that there would be no strike until the November 3 midterm elections.
