Countdown until US midterm elections are over feels like waiting for war with Iran - editorial
First came Israel’s election. Now Americans go to the polls on Tuesday for their midterms. Once those votes are counted, Washington and Jerusalem can return to the unfinished business of Iran.
Countdown to US midterm elections feels like waiting for war with Iran, editorial suggests. On Wednesday, the day after dentist appointments and children's pick-ups, the countdown began. Iran remains a looming threat, with its nuclear ambitions, missile programs, and support for regional proxies causing alarm. Israel and America prepare for renewed military action, but the timing is contested.
While Trump has not yet ordered an attack, preparations continue, with Israeli operation reportedly on hold due to US opposition. The editorial questions the wisdom of using election dates as justification for conflict, emphasizing that a 10-minute strike may destroy nuclear facilities, but cannot resolve Iran's broader political and strategic issues.
Civilians on both sides deserve a clearer understanding of the potential consequences of military action.
