- The planned campaign would be short and intensive, targeting nuclear and energy facilities.

The United States and Israel have intensified preparations for potential military operations against Iran, aiming for a brief but intensive campaign, according to a "New York Times" report citing U.S. officials and individuals familiar with the discussions. The plans reportedly target Iranian nuclear and energy facilities, as well as its missile and drone arsenal. Preparations include military drills and flights over Iraq to simulate operational routes.
U.S. officials believe a concentrated strike lasting approximately three days could inflict significant damage on Iran's economy, potentially compelling Tehran to make concessions in negotiations. However, the report indicated no final decision has been made, and President Donald Trump might opt against initiating new military action despite ongoing preparations.
These developments follow earlier reports of the U.S. administration exploring military options against Iran's missile, drone, and energy capabilities, even as diplomatic efforts to reach understandings between Washington and Tehran continue.
