Trump Halts Planned Israeli Attack on Iran's Nuclear Sites and Power Plants

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had planned to launch a major attack on Iran again this month, but US President Donald Trump put a hold on it for the time being. According to a report in the Financial Times, the Israeli military had planned a multi-day bombing campaign around October 10. This time, it was planned to target civilian infrastructure such as nuclear sites and power plants, along with targets associated with the Iranian regime. However, Trump expressed concern about resuming hostilities before the November 3 midterm elections in the United States. The attack was then postponed. The report quotes three unnamed people. However, both Trump and Netanyahu have threatened to take action against Iran again and have said that they will complete the removal of the Iranian regime. According to the report, the Israeli military had planned a multi-day attack on the weekend of October 10. Its intensity was increased on February 28 and in addition to targets associated with the US, civilian infrastructure and power plants associated with the Iranian regime were targeted.
