The three tracks on the Pentagon's table: This is what the next strike on Iran might look like

The Pentagon is examining three military tracks for a strike on Iran: limited operations, broader strikes, and action conditional on the failure of negotiations. There are disagreements between the US and Israel over timing and scope, with the Americans preferring to delay a broad confrontation until after the midterm elections.

Three military tracks for a strike on Iran are on the Pentagon's table, according to a news agency report. The first track includes limited operations against military installations linked to Iranian attacks. The second includes broader strikes against missile and drone arrays. The third ties military action to the failure of nuclear negotiations and continued attacks on shipping lanes. There are disagreements between Washington and Jerusalem regarding the timing and scope of the operation. The US prefers to delay a broad confrontation until after the midterm elections, while Israel examines the implications for its home front. Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir warned that a broad war before the elections could affect the holding of the vote.
