The United States and Israel are continuing to prepare for the possibility of renewed military action against Iran, with detailed operational plans for a potential strike having been formulated in recent months, following the US midterm elections on November 3. As of now, US President Donald Trump has not yet authorized a new operation. The planning focuses on a short but intense campaign lasting approximately three days, targeting strategic assets of the Iranian regime. Among the potential targets are Iran's nuclear facilities, energy infrastructure, and missile and drone systems.
Joint military preparations are expanding alongside operational planning, with Israel and the United States increasing their military coordination. As part of these preparations, aerial exercises were conducted over Iraq, practicing maneuvers that could be used in the event of a deep strike into Iranian territory. US Secretary of War the Secretary of War met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel earlier this week. The meeting was not publicly announced in advance, and the Secretary of War confirmed its occurrence without revealing its content.
Some American officials believe that precise strikes on strategic infrastructure and key revenue sources in Iran could significantly pressure the regime and compel it to be more flexible in negotiations with Washington. Concurrently, the Pentagon is continuing to concentrate forces in the Middle East. The planned deployment includes three aircraft carriers, thousands of Marines, fighter jets, and special forces, with completion expected in early November.
Underground facilities are also being considered. As part of the evaluation of possible targets, methods to strike fortified and underground nuclear facilities, including the site known as "Mountain of Hell," are being examined. This presents one of the most significant operational challenges in any renewed attack scenario. Despite the extensive preparations, the final decision has not yet been made. Trump may opt to continue pursuing a diplomatic route, but the troop deployment and joint planning indicate that a military option remains a realistic possibility.
