US President Trump has stated that the United States will not attack Iran before the midterm elections on November 3rd. The United States has informed the Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defense Forces, Eyar Zamir, that the US military may resume military operations against Iran before the end of this month. Eyar Zamir stated that if the United States resumes its strikes, Iran may retaliate against Israel, resulting in the postponement of the elections originally scheduled for October 27th. The Pentagon has requested the US Central Command to complete preparations for resuming military operations against Iran, which may involve striking Iran's energy infrastructure and nuclear facilities. White House officials have stated that the United States currently holds the initiative in the Strait of Hormuz, and the Iranian economy is facing pressure to collapse. (Source: Axios)
