The Pentagon has instructed U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) to immediately finalize preparations for renewed, large-scale combat operations against Iran, according to a dramatic report from the United States. While no specific date for initiating strikes has been set and President Donald Trump has not yet made a final decision, the U.S. military is on heightened alert for the possibility of a significant offensive. American and Israeli sources suggest that the resumption of hostilities could occur before the U.S. midterm elections, and potentially even before Israel's general elections. If a final decision is made by the White House, the military campaign is expected to be unprecedented in its scope. Sources report that plans include massive and destructive bombings of strategic targets across Iran, encompassing energy facilities, critical infrastructure, and key sites within Iran's nuclear program. This development follows reports from the previous evening indicating that President Trump is seriously considering resuming American attacks before the U.S. goes to the polls, after the White House officially requested the Pentagon to formulate a detailed list of options for striking high-value targets in Iran. The report, citing senior American officials, was made by journalist Barak Ravid on Channel 12 News.
