US military forces are prepared to launch a large-scale operation against Iran within 96 hours of receiving a direct order from President Donald Trump, according to two US officials who spoke to CNN. The scope of the potential operation is expected to be unprecedented, going beyond routine actions like targeting radar and missile launchers. Pentagon and CENTCOM officials have developed an extensive list of targets that includes energy infrastructure, military bases, and nuclear facilities.

This readiness comes amid ongoing Israeli pressure for action against Iran. While Trump has not yet given the final approval, quiet evacuation measures have reportedly begun in the Persian Gulf region. A senior US official described the impending action as a "massive effort," emphasizing that the question is not if, but when such an operation will occur. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Kane, is involved in these preparations.
