Pentagon orders military to be ready for more Iran strikes, Axios reports

The directive gives no strike date as U.S. and Israeli forces prepare for possible bombing of Iranian energy, infrastructure and nuclear targets.

  • The Pentagon instructed Central Command to prepare for potential combat operations against Iran, though President Trump has not determined a launch date for any military action.
  • Trump and his team met at Camp David Friday to discuss the conflict, following a call with Netanyahu regarding the October 7 massacre.
  • Central Command planning includes massive bombing of Iranian energy, infrastructure, and nuclear targets, with the Israeli military expected to participate alongside The Pentagon in coordinated operations.
  • Israeli officials warn the Iranian regime is desperate and paranoid, potentially leading Iranians to strike first, while resuming combat could affect regional elections within three to four weeks.
  • Negotiations between parties show no progress as Qatari mediators await an Iranian response to a proposal including nuclear concessions, leaving diplomatic options uncertain.
