US Military Stands Ready for Possible Strikes on Iran
(MENAFN) American defense officials have briefed Donald Trump that the military is positioned to launch potential strikes on Iran as soon as Saturday, according to reports released Wednesday.
Citing senior national security figures who spoke anonymously, reports indicate that Trump has yet to make a final determination on whether to move forward with such an operation. While preparations are said to be in place, no formal authorization has been issued.
The same sources suggested that, if action is taken, developments could stretch beyond the weekend rather than conclude quickly. Deliberations reportedly remain ongoing at the White House, where officials are assessing the risks of escalation alongside the broader strategic and political consequences of either proceeding with or refraining from military involvement.
In parallel, multiple officials said the Pentagon has begun repositioning certain personnel from the Middle East to Europe or back to the United States as a precautionary step, anticipating possible retaliation should military measures be implemented.
Separately, Marco Rubio is expected to hold discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in roughly two weeks to continue consultations, according to one source familiar with the matter.
