The White House has tasked the Pentagon with preparing options for new strikes against Iran that could be carried out before the US midterm elections on November 3. No final decision on conducting a military operation has been made yet. The administration of Donald Trump is considering possible actions against Iran amid the ongoing war and approaching elections. The Pentagon has been asked to develop several strike scenarios that could be implemented in the coming weeks if necessary. One factor is Trump's desire to show progress in the war before the vote. Another goal is lowering gasoline prices. At the same time, scenarios for significantly larger military operations are being discussed, but their implementation is being considered for the period after the elections. Which specific targets may be included in the Pentagon's plans is not specified in the article.
