Iranians fear war with U.S. and Israel could resume after elections
Residents of Tehran fear the U.S. and Israel will restart their war on Iran after Israel's Tuesday election and next month's U.S. midterms, as a third U.S. aircraft carrier and thousands of troops head to the region.
Iranians are afraid the U.S. and Israel could resume their war against Iran once two elections are over. The Hill reports that the fear is tied to Israel's vote on Tuesday and the U.S. midterms next month.
The Hill, citing the Associated Press, says Tehran residents described growing anxiety in the capital. The AP report was published Monday.
PBS NewsHour reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a close vote on Tuesday. It says he has said Iran's leadership must be eliminated.
PBS also reports that President Donald Trump has vowed to "finish the job" in Iran. That is eight months after the war began. According to PBS, a third U.S. aircraft carrier and thousands of troops are on their way to the region.
The Hill says the vote could decide Netanyahu's political future.
