New York Times: Plans for military action against Iran are ready, with thousands of US Air Force and Navy personnel on standby.

BlockBeats news, November 5 - According to The New York Times, although Trump has hinted that he is not in a hurry to restart bombing operations, the possibility still exists: in the past, some presidents, when suddenly placed in a "fallback option" position, often resorted to military means, partly to demonstrate to the outside world that their authority as commander-in-chief has not been weakened. In 2006, after Bush's historic defeat in the midterm elections, he accelerated operations in Iraq. Some former U.S. State Department diplomats, Pentagon officials, and military commanders who have long worked in the Middle East said that Trump may have backed himself into a corner.

Pentagon officials and military commanders said on Wednesday local time that thousands of U.S. Air Force and Navy personnel, deployed on more than ten ships and at bases across the Middle East and within the United States, are ready to relaunch large-scale combat operations against Iran upon Trump's order. Relevant officials disclosed that the U.S. and Israeli militaries have formulated specific plans to carry out a short but intensive military operation, likely targeting Iran's energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and missile and drone arsenals.
