Netanyahu Pushes for Iran Strikes, Trump Blocks Before Elections

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been advocating for renewed military strikes against Iran, with reports suggesting that Israel had prepared a multi-day bombing campaign targeting nuclear facilities, government sites, and civilian infrastructure. However, U.S. President Donald Trump opposed these plans before the U.S. midterm elections and Israel's upcoming elections. The Financial Times reported that Israel's military had prepared for an attack in late September, but Trump's opposition prevented the operation. Netanyahu has since denied these reports.
