US, Israel draft renewed Iran strike plans; Trump wary of escalation

US and Israeli military plans for a 'short and intensive' strike campaign against Iran, targeting nuclear, energy, missile, and drone facilities, are reportedly finalized for execution after the US midterm elections. While the timing and scope remain uncertain, the shift from contingency discussions to a defined operational framework signals heightened readiness for military action. Separately, Hamas has threatened a repeat of the October 7-style attack, adding to regional conflict risk.
