The US and Israeli militaries have developed specific operational plans for renewed strikes against Iran, intended to be carried out after the US midterm elections on November 3, 2026.

It has been widely corroborated by multiple outlets (including Haaretz, Time, and France 24), making it well-sourced for an anonymous leak. However, as an aggregated/secondary report with no direct on-the-record primary source, the precise details remain unverifiable and the usual caveats about pre-decisional planning apply.
