NYT: Pentagon drafts three-day Iran strike plan; Trump rules out pre-midterm attack
The U.S. military has drawn up plans for a roughly three-day campaign against Iran targeting its rebuilt missile and drone arsenal, the New York Times reported, while President Trump said there would be no attack before the Nov. 3 midterms.
Pentagon planners have prepared options for a concentrated air campaign against Iran lasting about three days, the New York Times reported, as U.S. officials believe Tehran has rebuilt substantial parts of its missile and drone arsenal.
The strikes would focus on the Revolutionary Guards’ ballistic missile launchers, stockpiles and drone infrastructure, with energy facilities and IRGC command posts also among possible targets.
Trump: Not before Nov. 3
Hours earlier, Trump wrote on Truth Social that "we will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the Midterm Elections," citing "productive discussions" with Tehran and saying the blockade of Iranian ports would stay in force. A White House official said "all options" remain available.
Three U.S. carriers are expected in the region by late October for the first time since 2003, along with more than 20,000 sailors and Marines.
