U.S. officials revealed that the U.S. military is ready to strike again on a large scale against Iran

According to U.S. news on the 26th, the U.S. military is ready to launch a new round of large-scale strikes against Iran. U.S. President Trump may issue an action order after the U.S. midterm elections in November.

CNN quoted U.S. officials as saying that the U.S. military currently deployed in the Middle East is sufficient to carry out new strike missions against Iraq. After Trump’s order, the U.S. military can launch a large-scale operation within 96 hours. Compared with previous attacks on targets such as radars and missile launchers, the scope of the new round of operations may be expanded. Senior officials from the U.S. Central Command and the Pentagon are formulating a list of targets to target, including Iran's energy infrastructure, military sites and nuclear facilities.

The report quoted current and former U.S. officials as saying that it was only a matter of time before Trump issued an action order. He could order it before the end of the year, most likely after the U.S. midterm elections.

The report also quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that according to recent U.S. intelligence assessments, if the United States and Israel launch a new round of strikes, Iran and the Houthi armed forces in Yemen may immediately take retaliatory actions against U.S. personnel and facilities in the Middle East and even the wider region. Taking into account potential risks, the United States is expected to continue to withdraw personnel from multiple embassies in the Middle East in the next few days.

People familiar with the matter also revealed that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has been pushing for a new round of strikes against Iran, but the United States has requested that the action be postponed until "the U.S. government is ready."

According to a report by the US "New York Times" on the 21st, the US and Israeli militaries have formulated specific plans to attack Iran again after the US mid-term elections. The U.S. and Israeli military plan to launch a "short-term, high-intensity" military operation, and targets may include Iran's energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and missile and drone warehouses.
