US plans for possible prolonged strikes on Iran - Daily Times

US military planners are preparing for potentially weeks-long operations against Iran if President Donald Trump orders action, two officials told Reuters, even as Washington and Tehran pursue renewed nuclear diplomacy after talks in Oman. The Pentagon has reinforced the region with an additional carrier, troops, fighter aircraft and destroyers. Trump told troops a deal has been difficult, saying that sometimes fear is necessary, while the White House said all options remain on the table. Planning now targets more than nuclear sites amid warnings of wider conflict, and Netanyahu urged Trump to factor Israel's security into any Iran agreement.
