US and Israel Plan Potential Strikes on Iran; Netanyahu Closes Hebron Before Israeli Vote

The U.S. and Israel are escalating plans for potential strikes on Iran, targeting its nuclear and missile programs, as Tehran warns of severe retaliation against American and regional targets. President Trump said action could come "fairly soon," though the White House denied any attack before the U.S. midterm elections. Iran threatens to hit American bases, warships, and civilian infrastructure in Gulf states, while analysts say it has resumed missile production. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons his life's mission, citing Trump's support. He ordered Hebron closed after a shooting wounded five people, ahead of Tuesday's Israeli elections showing a tight race.
