Our piece tonight on the firing at the Pentagon of another senior general and potential plans for the Middle East after the elections. @SpecialReport
IRAN BATTLE PLAN DYNAMICS: In a significant military leadership change, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has removed Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia from his role as head of Strategy, Plans, and Policy on the Joint Staff known as the J5. The Pentagon cited allegations of severe misconduct involving leaked classified information regarding operations in Iran and Ukraine, noting the investigation has been referred to the Department of Justice. The leadership shift occurs as civilian and military leaders assess strategic options and force posture in the Middle East. @JenGriffinFNC details the latest in the shifts.

Trump is reportedly planning to restart war with Iran after the election.
Some of us have been briefed on the war plan. And while I cannot disclose any details, I can say this: the plan is insane. It will not achieve objectives and will set off a new cycle of escalation.

Iran has harnessed a military-financial complex of 5,000 agencies to bring in components, explosives and heavy-duty trucks critical to its drone and missile programs. Even during the war, deliveries reached Iran by land, sea and air reut.rs/4z7aCRr

This means the Joint Staff that serves the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Dan Caine is without its chief planner on the eve of possible resumption of strikes against Iran. It is the 2nd General serving in the Pentagon’s top planning role (J-5) that has been fired/forced out by Hegseth.
Breaking news from me: Hegseth pushes out another Top General on the Joint Staff, this time the J-5 theatlantic.com/national-sec…

After their visit to Tehran this week, Saudi officials told the White House that the Iranians are concerned about a possible U.S.-Israeli bombing operation after the midterms, per U.S. official. The Saudis asked Trump not to rush into war and to allow more time for negotiations
🇺🇸🇮🇷Regional mediators led by Qatar are trying to reach a diplomatic deal to restart negotiations between the U.S. and Iran and prevent the resumption of war after the midterm elections, three U.S., Israeli and regional sources say. My story on @axios

“As long as the elections keep coming, Netanyahu remains a caretaker prime minister. Under Israel’s constitutional order, caretakers are fully empowered to launch military operations. Menachem Begin did it in 1981 against Iraq’s Osirak reactor—at the height of an election campaign.”

New: The U.S. is moving an additional Patriot to the Middle East from Ft. Bliss in Texas in preparation for potential new strikes against Iran.
When the U.S. has moved air defenses during the Trump admin, it has done so with plans to use them.
