Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday he opposed launching a preemptive attack on Iran before the country's October 27 election, Al-Monitor reported. The statement came as Netanyahu cautioned Tehran and its proxies against striking Israel.
The remarks signal Netanyahu's reluctance to initiate major military action in the immediate run-up to voting, though they do not preclude operations after the election takes place.
