The US and Israel have drawn up plans for renewed strikes on Iran after the November 3 midterms, per The New York Times

Targets would likely include Iran's energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and missile and drone arsenal

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth met Netanyahu in Israel this week, and some US planners think an intensive three-day campaign could force Iran into concessions

Iran has threatened to widen retaliation beyond ships and energy sites to data centers and undersea internet cables

Trump has vetoed a return to major combat several times this year, including this month, so new strikes are far from certain

Brent crude is already near $110, more than 50% above the roughly $72 it traded at before the first round of strikes in late February

Oil has priced a long standoff, not a second war. Hitting Iran's energy grid would turn a shipping risk into a supply risk, and with diesel already above $6 that lands straight on inflation
