US , ISRAEL PLAN SHORT BUT INTENSIVE STRIKES ON IRAN AFTER MID - TERM ELECTIONS ; WILL TRUMP APPROVE ?

What happened: US and Israeli militaries have developed plans for renewed strikes on Iran after the November midterm elections, per a New York Times report. Why it matters: Officials said another major round could push Iran's economy over the brink and force diplomatic concessions, though the report noted scepticism that a renewed war would succeed more than the first phase. It is uncertain Trump will approve, as he has repeatedly vetoed major combat plans this year.
