Dozens of Israeli fighter jets flew toward Iran's border on Monday in a large-scale operation intended to demonstrate military power and deter Tehran, Axios reported, citing Israeli and US officials. Fighter jets and refueling aircraft flew more than 800 miles through Syrian and Iraqi airspace before turning back near Iran. Israel reportedly notified Washington in advance, describing the mission as a training exercise to deter an Iranian attack ahead of Israel's October 27 elections. Some US sources suggested Israel may have hoped Iran would fire at the aircraft, potentially providing justification for Israeli strikes.
A senior Iranian security official told Fars News that Tehran expects another U.S.-Israeli attack and considers Washington's diplomatic efforts insincere. The official warned that any renewed large-scale conflict involving assassinations of Iranian officials or civilian killings would lead Iran to consider U.S. political targets and the infrastructure of countries involved in the war legitimate targets.

White House sources: In recent hours, there has been an apparent change in the American position in favor of a preemptive strike on Iran. White House sources explain the change primarily by the great weight President Trump gave to the assessments and intelligence presented to him by Defense Secretary Pete Hagseth upon his return from the meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei of ordering the development of nuclear weapons and called for the overthrow of the Iranian regime. Netanyahu said Khamenei was following in his father's footsteps and that Iran was once again seeking to develop nuclear bombs. He said he had instructed the Israeli military, Mossad, and security services to work toward toppling the Iranian regime, calling it the only way to permanently eliminate the threat.
Middle East oil flows averaged more than 24 million barrels in 24 hours (BPD) in the week through October 18th, above the prewar average of 23.3 million BPD, according to Kpler ship tracking data reported by The Wall Street Journal. To accomplish this, tankers load inside the Persian Gulf and run through the Strait of Hormuz, often with their automatic identification system (AIS) off and under U.S. air cover along Oman's coast, then transfer cargo to other ships near Oman before returning. That route moved about 14 million barrels a day, or 82% of prewar levels, in preliminary figures. Pipelines across Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and other alternative routes carry the rest of the regional total, or up to 10 million BPD. Kpler estimates about 40% of non Iranian Gulf crude oil bypassed the strait in September, up from 17% before the war. The Journal counts about 30 attacks on ships this month. Brent crude was around $108 a barrel yesterday
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Center has issued a report on an attack on a tanker approximately 30 nautical miles southeast of Al Faw, Iraq, in the northern part of the Persian Gulf. According to the vessel's master, the tanker was struck by an unidentified projectile at approximately 1830 UTC yesterday. The crew is reported to be safe, and no damage or environmental impact has been reported. A similar incident occurred on September 9th in the same area. Earlier this week, UKMTO acknowledged difficulties in reporting the true number of attacks, as most targeted vessels are refusing to provide information, likely in accordance with U.S. guidance. Attacks attributed to Iran, which have increased in frequency and range in recent weeks, have now targeted tankers north of Qatar and off Saudi Arabia's Al Jubayl
