Netanyahu's Pre-Election Iran Operation Plans Halted After US Intervention
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly planned a military operation against Iran shortly before Israel's October 27 election, supported by Mossad chief Roman Gofman but opposed by other senior security officials concerned about escalation and election disruption. The plan was halted after an Israeli operative inadvertently alerted the United States, which intervened to stop the operation. Netanyahu's office denied the report, stating no attack before the election was planned. The situation highlighted internal disagreements within Israel's security leadership.
