The New York Times, citing U.S. officials and others, reports U.S. and Israeli militaries have drawn up specific plans to strike Iran after the U.S. midterm elections. Preparations include intensified exercises and warplanes flying over Iraqi airspace to rehearse strikes. U.S. Defense Secretary Hegseth met Prime Minister Netanyahu this week to discuss the plans. Potential targets cited include Iranian energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and missile and drone stockpiles. Some officials say a further large-scale strike could push Iran’s economy toward collapse and compel concessions in diplomatic talks after nearly eight months of conflict.

Al Jazeera reported US President Trump said the US holds a "very favorable" position on Iran both militarily and economically and described the standoff as "a small skirmish." Asked whether he had abandoned talks with Iran, Trump replied: "No, I don't think we're negotiating at the moment. In any case, there will be a result, and it will be clear soon." He added most people expect any resolution to wait until after the midterm elections and said "everything we've done on Iran has been terrific."
