US Military Drafts Three-Day Strike Plan for Middle East; Trump Vows No Action Before Election

On October 9, according to Jin10 data, three US aircraft carriers are expected to converge in the Middle East region within the coming weeks. The Pentagon has drafted detailed military operation contingency plans, aiming to complete strikes against Iranian missile facilities, drone bases, and key energy nodes within three days.

Facing the tense military deployment posture, Trump publicly clarified the related developments. He explicitly stated that, given ongoing progress in diplomatic consultations between the US and Iran, the US government currently has no plans to carry out any military attacks prior to the midterm elections in November.

The synchronized implementation of this military deployment and strike contingency plan underscores Washington's strategy of maintaining strategic restraint while bolstering regional deterrence. Trump emphasized that any such decisions will take full account of the situation's development throughout the election period and the results of diplomatic talks.
