🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 Pentagon orders preparations to resume major war on Iran

The Pentagon has instructed US Central Command to complete preparations for resuming major combat operations against Iran, Axios reports, citing US officials. The order was issued several days ago.

➡️No date has been set and US President Donald Trump has not made a final decision

➡️US and Israeli sources say an attack could come before the US midterm elections on November 3, and possibly before Israel's elections on October 27

➡️Renewed operations would involve large-scale strikes on Iranian energy, infrastructure and nuclear targets

➡️Washington and Tel Aviv would most likely act together, with the IDF taking part

➡️Trump's national security team spent several hours at Camp David on Friday, partly discussing a return to full-scale war

The Atlantic separately reports that the White House asked the Pentagon for strike options ahead of the midterms. Officials involved warned that new strikes could push oil prices higher and expose the roughly 50,000 American troops in the region to Iranian retaliation.

🐻 Two elections, two governments in trouble at home, one convenient war.
