The US is ready to launch a large-scale operation against Iran within 96 hours after Trump's order. CNN The US military has already concentrated enough forces in the Middle East for new strikes, two US officials told the television channel. According to them, the operation could go far beyond limited attacks on radars and launch sites, which Iran can quickly rebuild. The Pentagon and US Central Command are developing an extensive list of targets, including Iran's energy infrastructure, military facilities and nuclear facilities. Trump has not yet made a final decision. According to several CNN insiders, the order could come before the end of the year, most likely after the midterm elections in the United States. In addition, Washington continues to reduce embassy staff in the Middle East. Some American soldiers whose presence was not considered essential and were to be sent to the area as part of a rotation were notified that the deployment would be canceled.
