路透社报道称，一名美国特使于10月23日表示，随着华盛顿和以色列对德黑兰的威胁不断升级，美国最早可能在本周末打击伊朗。美国驻土耳其大使汤姆·巴拉克（Tom Barrack）在接受以色列陆军电台采访时表示，打击是有可能的，当被问及时他回答“绝对”。巴拉克主导美国的叙利亚政策且没有直接负责伊朗事务，他补充说，经过数月的会谈后，总统唐纳德·特朗普仍然对达成协议持开放态度。
The United States could strike Iran as soon as this weekend, a US envoy said on October 23, as threats from Washington and Israel against Tehran grow. Tom Barrack, the US ambassador to Turkey, told Israeli army radio that a strike was possible, answering “Absolutely” when asked. Barrack, who leads US policy on Syria and has no direct role in Iran, added that President Donald Trump remains open to a deal after months of talks, Reuters said.
以色列也在朝同一方向施压。面临周二选举的以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在过去几天里多次誓言推翻伊朗的神职人员统治，此前以色列自去年以来已对伊朗开展了两次大型轰炸行动。在谈判长期陷入僵局后，特朗普也曾示意他对恢复打击持开放态度。然而，他早些时候曾表示，这不会在11月3日美国国会选举之前发生。特朗普正在权衡是迅速结束这场战争，还是任由冲突“枯萎”。
Israel is pushing in the same direction. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces elections on Tuesday, has repeatedly vowed in recent days to bring down Iran’s clerical rule, following two major bombing campaigns against Iran since last year. Trump has also signalled he is open to resuming strikes after a long deadlock in talks. However, he earlier said this would not happen before the US congressional elections on November 3. Trump is weighing a quick end to the war against letting the conflict “wither”.
在国内，内塔尼亚胡下令对被占领的约旦河西岸实施全面封锁，并称军队已为一次大规模军事行动做好了准备。此前，希伯伦发生了一场枪战，以色列军队在那里打死了两名巴勒斯坦人。以色列军方称，其两名士兵死亡，三人受伤。全球重要事态发展：伊朗：据路透社报道，一名美国特使称本周末可能会发动打击，而特朗普表示他仍然对达成协议持开放态度。
