US Military Prepared for Potential Strikes on Iran, Reports Say

The Pentagon has been ordered to prepare for potential renewed military strikes against Iran, though President Donald Trump has not made a final decision. The potential strikes, which could occur before Israel's elections, are expected to target Iranian nuclear and energy sites, with the Israeli military potentially involved. This follows a period of conflict in June 2025 and a subsequent shaky truce, with current peace talks stalled over Iran's nuclear program.
