Hadi Borhani, an Iranian international affairs analyst and university professor, stated that while the possibility of another Israeli military attack on Iran before the results of the Israeli and US midterm elections are known, a large-scale military operation is unlikely. Borhani pointed out that any attack strong enough to force a military response from Iran would be a high-risk action for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and could have unpredictable consequences for his electoral prospects. Therefore, he believes a large-scale Israeli military attack on Iran before the elections is improbable. At the same time, Borhani stated that there is still an opportunity to ease tensions through diplomatic agreements, and the period before the US midterm elections presents a crucial window for reaching such agreements.
