The Israeli Defence Force prepared a multi-day bombing campaign against Iran scheduled for the weekend of 10 October, but the operation was not executed due to opposition from US President Donald Trump, according to reporting from the Financial Times citing three sources involved in the matter.

Multiple Israeli sources (Ynet and Walla) confirm that the military had readied the operation, which was intended to damage Iranian nuclear facilities. The plan was shelved ahead of the US midterm elections on 3 November, with Trump reportedly concerned about renewed conflict during the electoral period.

This disclosure represents a significant moment in Israeli-US military coordination, revealing disagreements over the timing and scope of potential military action against Iran at a critical juncture in regional security.
