CNN: US military prepares to strike Iranian nuclear infrastructure

CNN reported on Saturday, citing U.S. officials, that the United States has intensified its preparations in recent days to carry out new military strikes against Iran, amid the development of options to expand the scope of military operations. The sources added that the U.S. military has prepared to target Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, including the Fordow facility, while one of the proposed options involves a two-week intensive bombing campaign against Iranian missile sites. It was noted that U.S. Central Command has finalized its plans and deployed its forces in anticipation of widening the conflict, with Washington planning to execute strikes on Iran as soon as possible by the end of the current week. These developments come amid an unprecedented escalation in tensions between the United States and Iran, following strikes that targeted military installations and infrastructure, as Washington continues to bolster its military presence in the region and keeps all options on the table to address Iranian threats.
