[U.S. and Israel Draft New Strike Plan Against Iran, Potential Action After U.S. Midterm Elections] According to a report by Golden Finance on October 22, citing the New York Times and information from U.S. officials and others briefed on related discussions, the U.S. and Israeli militaries have formulated specific plans to potentially launch another strike against Iran after the U.S. midterm elections. As preparations for a short but high-intensity military operation continue to advance, the U.S. and Israeli militaries have intensified drills, deploying fighter jets to fly over Iraqi airspace to rehearse strike maneuvers. U.S. officials stated that U.S. Secretary of Defense Hegseth met with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in Israel this week to discuss the new round of strike actions. Potential targets may include Iran's energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities, as well as missile and drone arsenals. Some officials believe that launching another large-scale attack could push Iran's economy to the brink of collapse, forcing Iran to make concessions in diplomatic negotiations following this conflict, which has lasted nearly eight months.
