The Pentagon has developed a plan for an intensive three-day military operation against Iran, despite President Donald Trump's statement that Washington will not strike before the November 3 midterm elections. This was reported by The New York Times. According to US officials, at the direction of the American leader, the military has prepared several attack options targeting Iran's missile and drone arsenals, energy facilities, and other military objectives. These plans were discussed last Friday at Camp David during a meeting of senior national security officials led by Vice President JD Vance. The primary targets are Iran's missile and drone systems, a significant portion of which the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has rebuilt after the initial phase of the war. Potential targets also include Iran's energy infrastructure, IRGC command posts, and headquarters. It is noted that in recent months, Trump has repeatedly rejected proposals to resume a large-scale military campaign against Iran, although he did task the Pentagon with developing new action scenarios. Against the backdrop of a significant increase in the US military presence, three US Navy aircraft carriers are expected to be deployed in the Middle East in the coming weeks.
