White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly stated that neither the US nor Israel will conduct joint military action against Iran before the November 3 midterm elections. This is a reaffirmation of existing policy, but the explicit timeline tied to domestic politics signals a deliberate de-escalation window. The statement does not rule out unilateral Israeli action or covert operations, leaving uncertainty about post-election posture.
