My prediction:
Israel starts the war alone with Iran in the 10/23-10/25 range, right before the elections.
Trump offers defensive support but does not attack Iran initially
Days after the elections in US, Trump fully joins the war “in support of Israel”
Fars News Agency, quoting a high-ranking security official:
Iran assumes that the United States and Israel will launch an attack, and considers American diplomatic gestures to be lacking in credibility.
For the first time, Iranian leaders, political figures, and intellectuals have reached the consensus that U.S. policy in the Middle East is directed from Tel Aviv.
Israel will not allow the United States to reach any diplomatic solution under any circumstances, because Israel comes first for Trump.
Iran has informed all its operational levels that it will consider American political targets and those involved in any aggression as legitimate targets in the event of a new round of widespread attacks.
