Israeli media reported that Trump and Netanyahu recently communicated about possible renewed U.S.-Israeli military strikes against Iran, but the two sides have not made a final decision. Netanyahu has no intention of acting before the parliamentary election at the end of the month.
Trump says the United States will not attack Iran before the November 3 midterm elections; meanwhile, the U.S. military has reportedly notified the Israeli military of the possibility of resuming military operations by the end of the month.
Trump said he currently does not want a deal with Iran; U.S. media reports that the U.S. side is discussing the possibility of resuming large-scale military operations in the coming weeks, while U.S.-Iran negotiations remain unresolved.
BlockBeats, citing US media, reported that the Pentagon asked Central Command several days ago to prepare for a possible restart of large-scale military operations against Iran; the report also said that no time had been set and that Trump had not made a final decision.
According to a PANews relay of a TIME magazine interview, Trump said that if no satisfactory agreement could be reached with Iran, bombing of Iran could intensify after the U.S. midterm elections. He also mentioned declines in some ammunition inventories and arrangements to replenish supplies and expand production capacity.
The Wall Street Journal, citing U.S. officials, reported that Trump rejected Iran’s 7-day ceasefire proposal and was considering resuming bombing Iran after the November midterm elections; the two sides are still negotiating through intermediaries.
