U.S. Forces Ready for Potential Operations Against Iran
October 26, 2026
American forces are prepared to initiate new military operations against Iran, capable of responding within 96 hours of a presidential order. The current strategy appears focused on large-scale operations targeting critical Iranian infrastructure. President Trump has not yet decided when to issue the order, although it is expected before the year's end. Iranian forces have become more familiar with U.S. tactics, making operations more challenging. Nonetheless, the Pentagon is working on a target list for potential strikes.
