Tension between Iran and Israel continues. Decades-old enemies are now on the verge of waging direct war against each other. According to media reports, Iran is allegedly planning a strong attack on Israel and this could happen before the US presidential elections, i.e. on November 5.
Tehran has named this mission ‘Operation True Promise 3’, which will be a response to Israeli attacks on Iranian military facilities. Citing a source with knowledge of the planning taking place in Iran, CNN has said that Iran will make a “decisive and lethal” response to Israel’s airstrikes.
Tension increases between Iran and Israel
Earlier, on October 1, Iran had fired some 180 ballistic missiles at Israel as part of “Operation True Promise 2.” Iran had called it revenge for the deaths of Hamas chief Ismail Haniya, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and IRGC commander Nilforushan. In response to this attack, Israel attacked several Iranian military sites on October 26. This attack by Israel has further increased tension between the two countries.

The US warning to Iran
The United States has asked Iran not to attack Israel again. White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre told media outlets on Wednesday that “Iran should not respond to Israel’s retaliation.” They shouldn’t do this. If they do, we will help Israel defend itself.
Will the world be divided into two groups?
Countries around the world, including the United States, are paying attention to the situation of growing tension between Iran and Israel because if this conflict escalates, it may change the political landscape of the Middle East. A direct war between Iran and Israel would mean the division of most of the world’s countries into two groups. While there will be actors such as the United States, Germany, Italy and Britain with Israel, countries such as Russia, China and North Korea may support Iran.
The attack will affect the American elections!
At the same time, the timing of Iran’s possible attack is very important, because it can affect international relations and the upcoming elections in the United States. As the international community calls on both sides to exercise restraint to avoid conflict, Egypt and Qatar are making efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza. It is believed that Iran’s anger may subside due to the ceasefire in Gaza and the reduction of attacks on Palestinians. This effort is exactly the same as that made to reduce tension between Iran and Israel after the death of Hamas chief Ismail Haniya.
Will Iran attack with 1000 missiles?
In fact, before Israel’s attack, some media reports had claimed that if civilians in Iran are killed in Israel’s attack or if Iran’s energy infrastructure is severely damaged, then Tehran may attack Israel with a thousand ballistic missiles. Apart from this, Iran may also attack Gulf shipping.
