Washington is preparing for a potential large-scale attack against Iran -. CNN Report The US military may begin a major bombing campaign against Iran within just 96 hours of receiving approval from President Donald Trump, CNN reports, citing US officials. According to reports, military preparations are complete, although Trump has not yet approved the operation. Unlike previous attacks against missile launchers and radar installations, the proposed campaign would include a much wider range of Iranian military targets. Meanwhile, Israeli authorities have reportedly pushed Washington, however, with the Trump administration reportedly urging them to delay military action, possibly until after the November 3 US midterm elections. One source familiar with the discussions noted that operational plans already exist and are awaiting presidential approval. American intelligence estimates indicate that both Iran and Yemen's Houthi movement are preparing for immediate revenge if American or Israeli forces initiate another round of attacks. US military personnel, diplomatic missions and facilities across the Middle East could face retaliatory attacks, prompting Washington to consider evacuating additional embassy staff. Despite these concerns, intelligence sources reportedly estimate that neither Tehran nor the Houthis intend to strike first. The White House declined to comment on the reports, while the Pentagon maintains that its responsibility is to prepare and execute military operations with the approval of the president.
