According to a BlockBeats report published on Oct. 8 and citing U.S. media, American officials said the Pentagon had instructed U.S. Central Command several days earlier to be ready in case large-scale military operations against Iran are resumed. The order did not set a specific strike date, and Donald Trump had not made a final decision at the time of the report. Still, U.S. and Israeli sources cited in the story said an attack could come before the U.S. midterm elections on Nov. 3, and possibly even before the Israeli election scheduled a week earlier. The report added that any renewed campaign would likely involve large-scale bombing of Iran’s energy facilities, infrastructure and nuclear sites. A Pentagon official said the Defense Department’s role is to develop military options and present them to the president, while a White House official said Trump could act at any time. The report also said any renewed operation would likely be coordinated by the United States and Israel, with Israeli forces taking part.
BlockBeats reported on Oct. 8, citing U.S. media, that American officials said the Pentagon had, several days earlier, directed U.S. Central Command to prepare for the possible resumption of large-scale military operations against Iran.
The report said the directive did not include a specific timetable for any strike, and Trump had not made a final decision. Even so, U.S. and Israeli sources cited in the report said an attack could take place before the U.S. midterm elections on Nov. 3, and possibly even before the Israeli election scheduled one week earlier.
Those sources said that if large-scale operations resume, Iran’s energy facilities, infrastructure and nuclear sites would likely face extensive bombing.
A Pentagon official said the Defense Department’s job is to formulate military options and submit them to the president. A White House official said Trump could take action at any time.
The report added that if large-scale combat operations restart, they would likely be carried out in coordination between the United States and Israel, with Israeli forces involved.
Two Israeli officials also said Iran had become desperate and deeply suspicious, which they said could lead it to strike first.
