Israel was preparing to carry out large-scale strikes against Iran on October 10, but the operation did not take place due to opposition from U.S. President Donald Trump, The Financial Times reports, citing sources familiar with the matter.
According to the newspaper's sources, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the country's Air Force in early October to prepare for a large-scale attack against Iran.
The strikes were planned for October 10, and Israeli forces were ready to launch the operation. However, U.S. President Donald Trump opposed the move.
Following Trump's opposition, Netanyahu instructed the Air Force to halt preparations for the strikes.
The newspaper's sources noted that the scale of destruction expected in Iran as a result of the planned operation would have been comparable to the damage caused during Israel's military operation against Iran in late February and early March 2026.
