The US could launch a large-scale operation against Iran within 96 hours after Donald Trump's order, - CNN. The US has already concentrated enough forces in the region for possible attacks. The Pentagon identifies targets for attacks on Iran's energy, military and nuclear facilities. Trump has not yet decided whether to issue the order, but according to CNN sources, he is leaning toward a large-scale operation. He can likely do so after the US midterm elections on November 3. At the same time, American officials warn: earlier, Trump has already abandoned decisions to which he was initially inclined. If the US and Israel attack Iran, Tehran and the Houthis may retaliate against US forces in the region and beyond, writes CNN citing US intelligence.
