Iran reportedly plans to conduct its "strong and complex" response to Israel's Oct. 26 attack on Iran after the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election to avoid election interference, The Wall Street Journal reported on Nov. 3, citing Iranian and Arab officials. Iran will reportedly conduct its attack against Israel from Iraq, according to an Oct. 31 Axios report. Why It Matters: An Iranian attack ahead of the U.S. election would likely have boosted support for Republican candidate Donald Trump and weakened support for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. Iran likely delayed its attack because it prefers a Harris victory over Trump, as Trump would likely take a hardline approach against Tehran and reduce U.S. pressure on Israel to restrain its attacks from targeting Iranian nuclear sites.
