Axios reported "captive fighter jet training" near Iranian airspace.

🔻 Axios, citing American officials and Israeli captives, reported that dozens of captives in fighter jets carried out a mission near Iran's airspace.

According to this report, the aerial mission of Israel's captive fighter jets was carried out on Monday, when it was reported that Benjamin Netanyahu and US Defense Secretary Pete Guest held a "secret meeting" at Avoda Airport in Eilat, although Axios claims that Israel's aerial operation "Captives" had nothing to do with this meeting.

Axios, without mentioning the names of its sources, quoted them and wrote that Israel's captured fighter jets approached Iran's airspace after passing through the skies of Iraq and Syria and then turned around and returned to their bases. This news was published while the New York Times reported, citing unnamed American officials, that the United States and the captives were planning a "specific plan" for a ground attack on Iran after the midterm elections in the United States.

The New York Times also wrote that America and Israel have increased their fighter jet training flights over Iraq while planning a "short but intense ground attack".

Meanwhile, Donald Trump said a few hours ago that he is not looking for negotiations with Tehran and that "soon" there will be a change in relations with Iran.

The American president said: "Most people think it will happen after the elections, but we will have to see."

Mr Trump is referring to the US mid-term elections on November 3, about two weeks from now.

At the same time, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, said yesterday that the IDF and the Mossad were ordered to act to overthrow the Iranian government. He made this threat with less than a week left before the POW elections.

Mr. Netanyahu said earlier that he does not intend to launch a ground attack on Iran before the elections in Israel.
