FT: Trump halts Israeli plan to launch attacks on Iran

The Financial Times reported, citing three informed sources, that Israel prepared a plan to launch wide attacks on Iran during the current October, targeting nuclear facilities, power stations, civilian infrastructure and sites belonging to the Iranian regime, before US President Donald Trump halted its implementation, opposing a resumption of war before the US midterm elections. The attacks were scheduled for the weekend of 10 October and were supposed to be more intense than previous "Rising Lion" attacks, with a new target list including civilian facilities not previously targeted. The newspaper said US concerns about the war's repercussions, including the possibility of strikes on energy facilities in allied countries, the expansion of confrontation and the depletion of US weapons, surrounded the review of the military plans, while the Israeli army remained on alert and a resumption of attacks in the coming weeks was not ruled out amid stalled negotiations with Tehran.
