The Pentagon has issued a directive to U.S. Central Command to finalize preparations for a potential resumption of major combat operations against Iran. According to U.S. officials, this order was issued several days ago, though it does not establish a specific timeline for any military action. President Trump has reportedly not made a final decision regarding whether to initiate strikes.

Should the administration choose to move forward, military experts and sources familiar with the planning anticipate that operations would involve large-scale aerial campaigns targeting Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear facilities. The timing of these potential operations remains a subject of speculation among U.S. and Israeli officials, with some suggesting that any military engagement could occur prior to the U.S. midterm elections or the preceding Israeli elections.

While the directive signals a heightened state of readiness, it remains unclear if these preparations are intended as a deterrent or as a precursor to active conflict. The administration has not provided public confirmation of the specific operational details, and the situation remains fluid as diplomatic and military options are weighed.
