U.S. military planners are reportedly preparing for sustained operations against Iran that could last weeks rather than days if President Donald Trump authorizes action. Plans go beyond last year’s limited strikes, potentially targeting state infrastructure, security forces, and command centers. Officials expect Iran would retaliate quickly, triggering a cycle of strikes and counterstrikes that could escalate into a broader regional conflict. <br /> <br />To prepare, Washington is assembling a major force posture. The USS Gerald R. Ford is set to join the USS Abraham Lincoln, creating two carrier strike groups with over 150 aircraft and thousands of personnel, signaling serious readiness for prolonged confrontation. <br /> <br />#USIran #GeraldRFord #Pentagon #Trump #Iran #MilitaryBuildUp #AircraftCarrier #USNavy #GeraldRFord #AbrahamLincoln #Geopolitics #DefenseStrategy #WarPlanning #RegionalConflict #MissileThreat #GlobalSecurity #BreakingNews #WorldPolitics #MilitaryPower #InternationalCrisis<br /><br />~HT.410~PR.498~ED.102~
