Pentagon develops plans for potential military strikes against Iran
The Pentagon is preparing options for large-scale military operations against Iran, according to reports from the New York Times and Axios. These plans include potential three-day intensive strikes targeting Iran's missile and drone arsenals, energy infrastructure, and military command posts.
U.S. officials indicate that three aircraft carriers are expected to arrive in the Middle East to support these efforts. National security officials, including Vice President JD Vance, have reportedly discussed these options at Camp David. While the military is completing preparations for the resumption of combat operations, President Donald Trump has stated on social media that the United States will not launch an attack against Iran before the upcoming midterm elections, noting that the two nations are engaged in productive discussions.
Despite the preparations, Trump has expressed hesitation regarding a full-scale resumption of war and has previously vetoed several proposals for large-scale operations against Iran or Houthi militants.
