Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing for a restart of large-scale attacks against Iran. Earlier this month, he had instructed the military to plan a new major offensive; this move could once again plunge the Middle East region into all-out war. Three people familiar with the matter revealed that the Israeli military was planning to launch a multi-day bombing operation over the weekend of October 10. The targets include civilian infrastructure such as power plants, nuclear facilities, and targets related to the Iranian regime. In the end, this air strike plan didn't come to fruition. People familiar with the matter said that the reason was that US President Donald Trump opposed restarting the conflict before the US midterm elections on November 3. However, Trump and Netanyahu, who will face a fierce re-election campaign next week, continue to threaten to launch a new round of attacks on Iran, saying that the US and Israel must “complete a final blow” to the Iranian regime. People familiar with the matter said that the intensity of this planned air strike will surpass the joint offensive against Iran launched by the US and Israel in February this year. It is unclear whether the US will directly participate in this operation, but a source said that it is “not an unrealistic scenario” for the US and Israel to restart the attack in the next few weeks. “In the end, either an agreement is reached or an attack is launched,” the source said. He said that the goal of the US side is to force Iran to negotiate and reach an agreement on the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear program in order to completely end this war.
