U.S. and Israel Draw Up Plans for Renewed Strikes on Iran After Elections

Renewed hostilities might not be any more successful than the war’s first phase, and President Trump has repeatedly canceled plans for a return to major combat.

It’s the same broken record, repeated over and over by these two fools. Even now, after America and Israel have ignited a war, destabilized the global economy, sown chaos, and caused widespread environmental devastation in the Persian Gulf, these two fools continue to issue empty threats, hoping to impress other fools like themselves all in a desperate attempt to sway voters.

The strike calendar is now a fuel-bill calendar. NYT: U.S. and Israeli officials have discussed new strikes on Iran after the midterms — a timing choice that lands on the same weeks households already feel Iran-war diesel, gasoline, and heating-oil prints. Whether that shows up first at the pump before ballots — or only as another “after November” briefing — is the open loop.

Hopefully, Iran won’t hit Israel back as we have Mr. Huckabee residing in there.

In the fog of war I seem to have forgotten what Iran did to deserve these attacks? Could someone remind me please?

Any new strikes will lead to mass protest on the streets of every major city

So the war is not under control? Iran has not been decimated? The strait is still closed? Who knew.

More chaos before the midterms? The US needs a new enemy for the narrative. How do you think this actually plays out for the general public?

I’m just upset we’re waiting until after midterms. Let’s get on with it already.

I am rather under the impression they might attack even bevore Israel elections, the way military equipment and men are moved in the region right now.

NYT doing Iran fear-mongering right before midterms? Classic. President Trump wants PEACE through strength, not endless wars. America First means no new wars for anyone.🇺🇸

Count on the NYT to leak and let enemies know our plans. Just don’t count on them for accurate, truthful news.

And we are eagerly waiting for what Irans retaliation will look like......there is a way you want to make people believe that you don't fear wars 😉 😀, but no, we now know you do, because if you didn't, not it would be nonstop 🤣🤣...you fear Iran's retaliation 🤣

Again we shall repeat it, there is no genuine reason y US and Israel are attacking other nations. Israel is continuing to wipe pple wiz guns n bombs, US has sent billions to Israel, Ukraine, killed leaders including children, oil price surges just bse they can’t negotiate. No way
