Crooke: Iran Says It Is Preparing for War as Israel Presses US to Strike

ZeroHedge·28 October 2026

Analyst Alastair Crooke reports that Netanyahu is urging Washington to "finish the job" on Iran, citing disputed new nuclear evidence, while Israel's army chief says no attack is needed before the elections. Iranian officials say they expect renewed war and have broader plans that could reach Gulf energy infrastructure and Saudi Arabia. This is opinion drawing on anonymous sources, but a widened Israel–Iran–Gulf war would deepen regional instability and the kind of crisis that fuels calls for a new order above nations.
