The Pentagon, under President Trump's direction, has developed contingency plans for a significant escalation of conflict with Iran. These plans reportedly include a brief but intense three-day campaign targeting Iran's missile and drone arsenals, energy facilities, and additional military sites, such as command centers and bases belonging to the Revolutionary Guards.

Over recent months, the security team and the Pentagon presented Trump with five proposals for major operations against Iran or against the Houthis in Yemen. Trump rejected all of these proposals. The article also notes that three American aircraft carriers are expected to be in the Middle East soon.
