U.S. Military Prepares for Possible Resumption of Major Iran Combat Operations, Report Says

U.S. military preparations for possible renewed combat operations and strikes against Iran

The U.S. military is reportedly preparing for a possible resumption of major combat operations against Iran, including potential large-scale strikes on Iranian energy and nuclear facilities, although President Donald Trump has not made a final decision on whether to proceed.

Pentagon Orders Preparations

According to Coin Bureau, citing a report from Axios, the Pentagon has instructed U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, to complete preparations for a potential return to “major combat operations” against Iran. The reported preparations indicate that the U.S. military is positioning itself for possible renewed hostilities, but they do not mean that a decision to launch strikes has been finalized.

The reported plans include expectations of massive bombing against Iranian energy and nuclear sites. The timing and scope of any potential operation remain dependent on a final decision from Trump, who has not yet authorized a resumption of major combat operations, according to the report cited by Coin Bureau.

Potential Timing of Strikes

U.S. and Israeli sources cited in the report said potential strikes could take place before the U.S. midterm elections. The sources also indicated that military action could occur even earlier, potentially before Israel holds its election, which is scheduled for one week ahead of the U.S. midterms.

The reported timeline adds a political dimension to the military preparations, although the available information does not establish that either election will determine whether the United States launches an operation. The key decision remains with Trump, while the Pentagon's reported instructions to CENTCOM concern preparations for a possible escalation.

Israeli Officials Warn of Iranian Response

Two Israeli officials described Iran's regime as “desperate and paranoid,” according to the report cited by Coin Bureau. They said those conditions could increase the possibility that Iran would act first rather than wait for a U.S. or Israeli strike.

The comments come as U.S. military planners reportedly prepare for the markets possibility of renewed major combat operations while no final presidential decision has been announced. The reported preparations, potential timing before the U.S. midterms and Israel's election, and warnings from Israeli officials are the specific developments cited in the report.
