White House issues military directive: Instructs Pentagon to draft strike plan against Iran before November midterms
According to sources cited by The Atlantic, the U.S. government has directed military planners to study potential strike options against Iran ahead of the November election.
The report states: “The White House has requested the development of strike plans that could be executed before the midterm elections.”
Previously, President Donald Trump had stated he needed to make a decision regarding the conflict with Iran, which he described as one that would conclude “in good or bad ways.”
Media reports indicate that the planning is being led by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM). The move appears aimed at lowering fuel prices ahead of the election and achieving favorable outcomes in any potential confrontation. However, the scale and specific targets of any possible strikes remain undetermined.
