US Prepares for Potential 'Weeks-Long' War with Iran – State and Military Facilities in the Crosshairs

The United States is preparing for potential military operations against Iran, which could last for weeks, if President Trump gives the order. This includes sending another aircraft carrier to the Middle East and increasing military forces in the region. These preparations are taking place during a period of heightened tension between the US and Iran, with talks underway to revive diplomacy regarding Iran's nuclear program. However, the deployment of additional military forces suggests that the US is seriously considering military action. In a prolonged campaign, the US military could strike Iranian state and military facilities, beyond nuclear infrastructure. This could lead to a much more serious conflict than those seen to date, with increased risk to US forces. The Trump administration states that it has all options on the table and is considering various viewpoints before making any decision. However, the increasing military presence in the region and preparations for a potential campaign indicate that tensions remain high.
