US and Israeli militaries have developed plans for a short, intensive air campaign targeting nuclear facilities, missile and drone arsenals, and energy infrastructure to force diplomatic concessions. This follows an Oct 10 operation that Trump blocked to prevent an energy price surge that could have harmed Republicans before the November vote. In response, Iran's Supreme National Security Council has warned it will expand retaliation to target artificial intelligence facilities and data centers, as Brent crude oil prices rose on the prospect of renewed conflict.

Trump Rejects Iran Talks as US and Israel Plan Post Midterm Strikes
War5 days ago
President Donald Trump said the US is not negotiating with Tehran and signaled that military action is likely in the near future, though he noted that most people believe such a move will follow the Nov 3 midterm elections. The US is deploying the USS Theodore Roosevelt and the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit to the Arabian Sea, adding roughly 10,000 sailors and Marines to a region where two other aircraft carriers are already stationed. While the White House denies any plans for US strikes before the midterms, Iranian intelligence assesses a high likelihood that large-scale bombing begins before the Oct 27 Israeli elections.
