US has plans for major Iran strikes if Trump chooses

US forces in the Middle East are prepared to launch new, potentially major, military operations against Iran “within 96 hours of receiving” an order from President Donald Trump, according to two US of...

Sufficient forces are now deployed in the region to carry out the potential attacks, the sources said. The scope of new US military operations would likely go beyond efforts to simply "mow the lawn" or maintain the status quo by striking radars, launchers and other Iranian assets that can be quickly reconstituted — as has been the case since Trump halted full combat operations earlier this year, the sources added.

"It will be a big effort," one of the officials told CNN. That view has been echoed by other current and former US officials familiar with internal military planning discussions — some of whom say it is a question of when, not if, Trump will issue a go-order. They believe it could come any time before the end of the year, though most likely after the US midterm elections.

The conflict has now become a zone to zone localised battle with various factions participating in assaults and counter-assaults. It has now started to resemble the conflict that happened in Yemen a decade or so ago. The LMs and UAVs are a new addition.
 
Well that' wrong

in other news
Saudi Arabia has reportedly offered Yemen's Houthi rebels a $1 billion financial package, through an Iran-brokered arrangement, to halt attacks on the kingdom

How much is the US going to give Iran to open the strait?

Qatari gas tanker struck in Gulf: state media

A Qatari tanker has been attacked with “unidentified objects” while transiting Gulf waters, the country’s state news agency reported Sunday.

The attack on Friday evening struck a liquefied natural gas carrier, Al Mayeda, which belongs to the Qatar Gas Transport Company, Qatar News Agency said.

Since the Middle East war broke out in February, Iran has been targeting vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and wider Gulf in an effort to assert control over shipping.

It says ships must obtain its permission to transit.

In response, the US has been blockading Iranian ports.

None of the crew members onboard the vessel struck on Friday were injured and there was no environmental impact from the attack, the report said.

The ship was in a “safe condition” and operational, the Qatari company was cited as saying.

Qatar, a mediator in the war, has stepped up diplomatic efforts in recent days in an attempt to revive negotiations between the United States and Iran.

Fox seems to have pulled its tweet. Placing the WSJ link here for the attack that happened today.

The U.S. attacked Iran’s Qeshm Island on Monday, U.S. officials said, in the latest of a series of limited strikes Washington has secretly carried out against the country in recent weeks as President Trump touted the possibility of a diplomatic deal.
