US military has been ordered to be ready for possible Iran strikes as President Trump weighs the timing, while Pentagon instructed US CENTCOM several days ago to conclude preparations for resuming major combat operations in Iran, according to Axios

The directive didn't include a specific date for launching strikes and President Trump hasn't made any final decisions, although US and Israeli sources say it could happen before the US midterm election. If major combat operations resume, they are likely to be a joint US and Israeli campaign and expected to include large bombing of Iranian energy, infrastructure and nuclear targets.
