Prime Minister Netanyahu is reportedly considering a major military strike against Iran, possibly even if he loses Tuesday’s elections. According to a New York Times report, Netanyahu may seek to launch an operation before leaving office, fearing his successor would be reluctant to do so. Meanwhile, U.S. intelligence warns that Iran has stepped up assassination plots targeting senior American officials and diplomats. President Trump is also weighing renewed strikes, with U.S. military planners reportedly preparing an expanded list of Iranian targets, including key energy facilities. No final decision has been announced.
