Ft, 'Netanyahu was ready to attack Iran on October 10, Trump said no'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is advocating for renewed large-scale attacks on Iran, having instructed military forces to plan a significant offensive. Reports indicate that the Israeli army was preparing for a multi-day bombing campaign targeting civilian infrastructure, but the operation was halted due to opposition from President Donald Trump ahead of the U.S. midterm elections. The planned attack aimed to surpass previous joint offensives against Iran. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited Israel for discussions, where Israeli officials presented updated target lists. The Israeli Defense Forces remain on high alert, canceling troop leave until the upcoming elections.
