US Midterms Shape New Iran War Timeline

The Jerusalem Post reports that US-Israel military action against Iran may resume after Tuesday's US midterm elections, with a potential date of Friday at 11:00 already discussed. The timing is linked to the conclusion of the American electoral process. President Donald Trump stated Saturday that US strikes have largely destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities, though "one or two facilities" remain, including the underground site known as Pickaxe Mountain. He claimed the operation could be completed in ten minutes, while US military aircraft have reportedly transported equipment to the region. Despite military preparations, Washington maintains diplomatic options remain open. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Trump has not decided on new operations and prefers a negotiated agreement, though Trump expressed skepticism about Iran's leadership credibility.
