Pentagon prepares for potential large-scale military operations against Iran

The U.S. Department of Defense has instructed the Central Command (CENTCOM) to finalize preparations for potential large-scale military operations against Iran. According to reports cited by Axios, the order was issued several days ago, although President Donald Trump has not yet made a final decision on whether to launch the campaign.

Should the operations proceed, the military objectives are expected to include massive aerial strikes on Iranian energy facilities, critical infrastructure, and nuclear sites. Sources suggest that while no specific date has been set, the window for these operations could fall within the next three to four weeks, possibly occurring before the U.S. midterm elections on November 3rd or the upcoming Israeli elections.

Analysts and officials remain divided on the timing, with some suggesting that any escalation occurring shortly before the U.S. elections could lead to significant global economic repercussions, most notably a spike in oil prices. As of now, the Pentagon continues to coordinate with relevant commands while monitoring the situation to determine the next course of action.
