The US Central Command has drawn up a plan to strike Iran, with attacks potentially beginning as soon as Wednesday, the day after the midterm elections, The New York Times reported, citing sources.

According to those sources, conditions considered ideal for the planned operation are expected to persist only briefly. The report did not specify what those conditions are.

Speculation has circulated for days that Donald Trump could order an attack shortly after the midterms, particularly if Republicans suffer a heavy defeat.
