CNN, citing two U.S. officials, reports that the U.S. Central Command is ready to launch a new military operation against Iran within 96 hours on a larger scale than the operations that took place after the MOU earlier this year, when Iranian forces mainly attacked U.S. forces. CENTCOM and the US War Department have developed a large-scale target list that includes energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities and military targets. President Trump is leaning toward an attack but has not yet decided, US officials tell CNN. American officials and an Israeli security source tell CNN that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed for the strikes, but the request was eventually rejected because the US government was not sufficiently prepared to carry out a joint strike against Iran and because IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir told the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Danin, that such an election operation by Israel's Chief of Staff Danin. In the end, preparations are underway between Israel and the United States to launch joint operations against Iran after the mid-term elections in the United States.
