- Potential operations would be broader in scope... and their resumption is likely after the midterm elections
US network CNN quoted US officials as saying that American forces deployed in the Middle East are prepared to launch new military operations against Iran, which could be broader in scope than previous operations, noting that the resumption of strikes has become a matter of time, not merely a possibility.
Officials clarified that US forces in the region possess the capabilities and resources necessary to initiate military operations against Iran within 96 hours of receiving orders from President Donald Trump.
According to officials, Trump may issue orders to launch new operations before the end of the current year, although the most likely scenario is the resumption of strikes following the US congressional midterm elections.
They indicated that any new military operation against Iran would be wide-ranging and would not be limited to targeting radar systems and missile launch platforms, or military capabilities that Tehran could rebuild.
These remarks, as reported by Al Arabiya and Al Jazeera citing CNN, come amid preparations by US forces in the Middle East to carry out new operations upon receipt of presidential orders.
