According to The New York Times, U.S. officials said the American military is still preparing options for renewed large-scale operations against Iran, even as President Donald Trump has shown mixed views about restarting a war. The report said three aircraft carriers are set to arrive in the Middle East, and the Pentagon has drawn up plans, under Trump’s direction, to strike Iranian drone and missile stockpiles, energy infrastructure and other military targets.
Officials said Trump’s national security team and the Pentagon have presented him with five large-scale military action proposals targeting Iran or the Houthis in recent months, and Trump rejected each one. At the same time, the report said Trump has again ordered strike planning to move forward. Senior national security officials led by Vice President Vance met at Camp David last Friday to discuss the plans. People familiar with the matter said the core proposal centers on a short, high-intensity campaign lasting about three days.
The reported targets would focus on Iran’s missile and drone arsenal, with possible additional strikes on energy facilities and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps command sites and headquarters. The latest development, however, is that Trump said the United States and Iran are holding productive talks and that he will not attack Iran before the midterm elections.
