Will the Iran war resume before the US and Israeli elections?

Recent developments in the Middle East have raised concerns that the US and Israel may resume military strikes against Iran before the country's general election on October 27 and the US midterm elections on November 3. Two US aircraft carrier strike groups are currently in the region, with another on the way, while US government personnel have been ordered to leave Saudi Arabia.

Israel has reportedly conducted a military sortie near the Iranian border. Sources suggest that Washington and Israel believe large-scale bombing could begin before Israel's election, with Iran's national security chief warning that Tehran could escalate the conflict by targeting data centers, artificial intelligence sites, and undersea cables.

However, some experts believe that a renewed conflict is unlikely before the US and Israeli elections, as it could have devastating consequences for the region and US interests. US President Donald Trump has hinted at the possibility of renewed strikes after the midterms, but his decision remains uncertain.
