Rumor has it that the United States and Israel will formulate military action to force Iran to surrender with three days of intensive bombing

The New York Times quoted an informed U.S. official on the 21st as saying that the United States and Israel are working together to formulate a military action plan to resume bombing Iran after the mid-term elections on November 3. It is hoped that through intensive and violent offensives, Iran's economic difficulties will be pushed to the brink of collapse and Tehran will be forced to compromise at the negotiating table.

Reports pointed out that U.S. Secretary of War (Defense) Hogseth went to Israel this week to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the new attack plan. While Washington and Tel Aviv were refining this short-term and intense combat plan, they were also strengthening training exercises and sending military aircraft to fly over Iraqi airspace to simulate combat operations. Targets may include Iran's energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities and missile and drone arsenals. To avoid further spikes in oil prices, lock-in of refineries and oil infrastructure will be avoided.

The large-scale military force being assembled by the United States is expected to be in place in early November. Washington has also continued to promote diplomatic negotiations, using the potential threat of war as a bargaining chip to force Iran to meet U.S. demands for its nuclear program and control of the Strait of Hormuz. Some U.S. officials who formulated the plan believe that three days of intensive operations are enough to severely damage Iran's economy and change Tehran's stance.
