Israel reportedly ready to launch operation against Iran within hours

Israel has reportedly completed military preparations for a possible joint operation with the United States against Iran, with its forces on maximum alert. A decision by Donald Trump could trigger intervention within hours, according to Israeli reports cited by the Zambian Observer.

Israel has reportedly completed military preparations for a possible joint operation with the United States against Iran, and its forces could act within hours on political orders. US aircraft and assets are arriving in the region while joint exercises continue, according to the Zambian Observer, citing Israeli media.

The final decision would rest with US President Donald Trump after the midterm elections scheduled for 3 November. Iranian nuclear sites and energy infrastructure are among the potential targets, while Tehran has threatened to retaliate without geographic limits, the same outlet reports.

The developments come as Donald Trump has already raised the possibility of new strikes near Natanz, an Iranian nuclear site, and Qatar is trying to revive talks between Washington and Tehran. US threats over Natanz were reported on 1 November.
