Iran Conflict
Sources: Netanyahu pushing for new attacks on Iran

Israel’s Prime Minister wants to carry out new, large-scale attacks against Iran, according to information provided to the Financial Times.

For instance, the Israeli military prepared an operation intended to take place on October 10. It was halted due to American opposition to new attacks occurring before the midterm elections, sources state.

One of the sources suggests it is likely that Israel and the US will attack Iran again in the coming weeks.

“It will either be an agreement or an attack,” the source says.
