US media: US military has been ordered to prepare for resuming strikes on Iran.

October 8 — U.S. officials said the Pentagon instructed U.S. Central Command several days ago to prepare for the resumption of large-scale combat operations against Iran. The directive did not set a specific strike time, and Trump has not yet made a final decision. However, sources on the U.S. and Israeli sides said the attack could occur before the U.S. midterm elections (November 3), and possibly even before Israel's election, which is held one week earlier than the midterms.
