🔍 Netanyahu's 'reelection strike' on Iran was thwarted only by a US intervention — report An explosive report from Israel’s Channel 12 alleges that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his loyalist Mossad chief, Roman Gofman, planned a military operation against Iran on the eve of the October 27 election. The plot was reportedly stopped only by accident when the White House found out. IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir had already been resisting the PM's demands for military action, requiring signed legal documentation. He reportedly warned the US that renewed fighting could derail the vote. The plans moved forward anyway—until an Israeli security operative made a mistake that tipped off the US. Washington quickly intervened to quash the operation. Netanyahu's office denies the report, claiming "an attack before the Israeli elections was not on the agenda." However, this aligns with earlier reports that Netanyahu urged Trump to resume strikes on Iran immediately after the US midterms, hoping to blow up the diplomatic track. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime
