Warnings in Israel Over Iran Strike Timing as Post-Election Plans Advance

Israeli defense figures and opposition leaders warn against striking Iran before the elections, amid reports of plans drawn up for military action afterward.

The United States and Israel have drawn up operational plans for military strikes in Iran following the elections, while criticism mounts in Israel over the potential timing of an attack, The Jerusalem Post and Romanian outlet Digi24 reported. According to the reports, plans for renewed strikes were formulated ahead of the US midterm elections.

Meanwhile, Opposition Leader Yair Lapid stated that available intelligence does not justify an attack before election day, warning that such action could be viewed as political interference. Concurrently, former Israeli Air Force chief Amikam Norkin questioned whether a limited campaign could successfully topple the regime in Tehran.

Further details regarding decision-making within the political echelon have not yet been released.
