New York Times Claims: Proposed New Attack on Iran Would Be a Short, Intense Operation Lasting About Three Days
The U.S. military is preparing options to resume large-scale military operations against Iran, even though Trump has not yet taken a definitive stance on restarting the conflict.
Three U.S. aircraft carriers are set to be deployed to the Middle East soon; meanwhile, at Trump's direction, the Pentagon has prepared options to strike Iran's drone and missile arsenals, energy facilities, and other military targets.
However, Trump has repeatedly refrained from launching major operations against Iran so far.
On Thursday, Trump stated on social media that he would not attack Iran before the midterm elections and noted that the two countries are engaged in "constructive dialogue."
According to U.S. officials, Trump's national security team and the Pentagon have presented him with five plans for large-scale operations against Iran or the Houthis in recent months, all of which he has vetoed.
Nevertheless, Trump has once again ordered the preparation of strike options. Senior national security officials, led by J.D. Vance, discussed these plans last Friday at Camp David.
The core of the new plan is a short, intense operation against Iran lasting approximately three days.
