According to sources cited by the New York Times, the United States and Israel are preparing contingency plans for a potential renewed round of military strikes against Iran following the US midterm elections. The sources indicate military drills have been ramped up in preparation for potential short, intensive operations.

The reported plans include possible strikes on Iranian energy sites, nuclear facilities, and arsenals containing missiles and drones, though no timeline has been confirmed. The timing coincides with ongoing tensions following previous Israeli military operations in the region.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has subsequently denied reports that the US prevented Israel from conducting strikes on Iran, stating in an interview with Channel 7 that such claims are tendentious and incorrect. Netanyahu clarified that allegations regarding a cancelled October 10th operation targeting nuclear sites and infrastructure are not accurate.
