The Israeli army, on the instructions of Benjamin Netanyahu, has prepared a multi-day plan to attack Iran's civil infrastructure (including power plants), nuclear and government facilities. This was reported to the Financial Times by three informed sources. The bombings were scheduled to begin on October 10, on the eve of Israel's general elections scheduled for October 27. Tel Aviv called on Washington to join the military campaign, but Donald Trump ruled out a resumption of the conflict before the November 3 US congressional elections. According to FT's sources, the scale of the new wave of bombings was supposed to exceed the military operation carried out by the USA and Israel at the beginning of the war that broke out at the end of February. At that time, the hottest stage of the conflict lasted for about one and a half months. Now Israeli intelligence has drawn up a new list of targets, many of which have never been hit by rockets before. It is not known whether the USA is ready in principle to resume strikes together with Israel. "It is not excluded" that this will happen in the coming weeks, said one of the interlocutors of FT. "There will be either an agreement [with Iran] or an attack," he added, suggesting that the United States wants to force Tehran to accept its terms on the Strait of Hormuz and its nuclear program. Trump publicly threatened Iran with new strikes, specifically declaring that if Tehran "doesn't change its behavior in a short period of time", the US and Israel will "soon finish the matter". According to CNN, the Pentagon has also developed a new plan to strike Iran, which plans to use the most powerful non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal against energy and nuclear facilities. Tehran, for its part, is preparing not only to withstand new strikes, but also to expand the geography of the war. Some Iranian officials have started hinting that their troops may carry out a land invasion of the territory of neighboring countries. And the head of the National Security Service, Mohsen Rezai, announced that the UAE (which Tehran had not fired missiles at since the end of spring), as well as the data centers and Internet malls of the entire region, could become targets of new strikes. The old ones.
