US Iran Conflict Development reports that the Pentagon has concentrated enough forces in the Middle East to launch a large-scale war against Iran within 96 hours of Trump's order. Potential targets include energy infrastructure, military sites and nuclear facilities. However, a large number of media outlets in the US state that Trump has postponed Netanyahu's request for an immediate escalation until after the Israeli elections. Cited reasons include protecting Trump's approval ratings before the US midterms (Nov 3) and avoiding disrupting Israel's voting process. Despite the diplomatic delays, operational preparations continue. Staff at US companies in Jordan and Lebanon received emergency instructions last week due to deteriorating conditions. The White House is also reducing embassy personnel in the region. @Slavyangrad.
